Bus driver sacked OMG

Nothing requires you to stop attempting to apprehend a criminal, just because they are no longer in the act of committing an indictable offence. Your right to use reasonable force continues while they remain at large.
Using a weapon, such as a scaffold bar, is not reasonable force to try to arrest someone.
Unless you're yet another that suffers from confabulation and you interpret the law to convince yourself that your actions were lawful.
 
Where, please highlight the exact passage that supports your claim, and include a link to your source.
I did ask you to highlight the exact passage to support your interpreatation of the law.
It would appear you are unable to do so. Instead you refer others to the whole legislation so that you can hop from one interpretation to another.
 
There are 2 paragraphs. It’s a 1 minute read. Would you like me to explain each section?

Can you copy and paste the section that you claim supports the right to use unreasonable force, e.g. such as a scaffold pole?
Not to mention that Mottie apparently went 'tooled up', intending to use it.
I don't want your interpretation, I want the copied section that you claim supports your view.
 
Wrong law
Joint Public Statement from the Crown Prosecution Service and the National Police Chiefs’ Council......
What if I chase them as they run off? This situation is different as you are no longer acting in self-defence and so the same degree of force may not be reasonable.
 
You need to consider the circumstances of the situation, the fact that the scaffold bar was not an intended weapon but something to hand given the robbers were likely armed and outnumbered Mottie. Further there is enough case law that prevents Mottie’s actions being judged as anything other than reasonable force to prevent a crime and apprehend suspects of an indictable offence.

Are you still talking about self defence?

Wrong law dummy

Are you incapable of copying and pasting the relevant section that you claim says you may use unreasonable force?
I don't want your interpretation of what you think it says, I want the relevant section word for word.
 
Another that suffers from confabulation.
The function does not exist to like your own posts.
But if it gives you some sort of comfort, you behave like a dog and lick your own post.
I suspect it would give you more satisfaction than rolling aound on the floor.
Nutcase, you like your own posts written under several different usernames.
We've been seeing this for years, Himmy.
How difficult is for you to understand that you're not fooling anyone and you never did?
How many times do you have to be told that 99% of members here are waaay smarter and more intelligent than you?

The simpler solution to avoid any miscarriage of justice, especially in today's leftist climate, is to avoid calling the police if you managed to get the criminal.
That would avoid all sorts of trouble.
