Sure, but the underlying difference is that people actually know their rights, not that SF is somehow soft on crime as implied.
They are not imploring a right. I could make s citizens arrest under my rights but people will tell you, it’s a losing proposition because you subject yourself to other frivolous claims that take money and time to clear up.
So the reason people aren’t detained for police is because police will do very little in these cases because they are classed as misdemeanors. So why risk lawsuits, etc. when there is no upside?
Very debatable. If you as a non-LEO attempt to detain someone who you suspect of having committed a crime, and they feel threatened, you could easily end up in jail.
“They did a crime” does not, in fact, give you the right to crime too.
Edit: Can someone help me out? I’ve posted a bunch of controversial opinions in this thread, so why is the one factual claim the thing getting downvoted to oblivion without comment?
Am I somehow wrong about this? Like... can I actually crime someone just because they crimed someone else first and I don’t want them to get away with it?
I need to know this.
It's not factual - it's false.
> Am I somehow wrong about this? .. can I actually crime someone
Making a reasonable citizen's arrest is not a crime. That's what you have wrong.
(And you don't 'crime' someone, that's a noun not a verb.)
