can you make a citizen's arrest in the uk
passage · full text (480 characters)
Despite the practice's name, in most countries, the arresting person is usually designated as a person with arrest powers, who need not be a citizen of the country in which they are acting. For example, in the British jurisdiction of England and Wales, the power comes from section 24A(2) of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, called ``any person arrest''. This legislation states ``any person'' has these powers, and does not state that they need to be a British citizen.
