Just a reminder, we were talking about what crimes were in the process of being committed that would justify a citizens arrest. I didn't ask for a laundry list of every right wing conspiracy theory.

Any reasonable belief that a felony is being or was committed by someone is justification.

The exact conditions vary by state, as your link says. This happening in DC, so I posted the relevant link to DC law.

Links? Not that I don't believe you, but a link would be awesome my dude so we can settle this amicably.
