Rumors are now circulating that Dog captured him!

Now let's wait and see if that is true.

Where’d you see that? I just checked his Twitter page and just see the video of him about to go out in the water.[/quote]

A sheriff helicopter headed out to the island after Dog.

Then the police asked a news company to pull a story until they update them.

Then the police scanner went quiet. Not staticky, completely quiet.

Now everyone is waiting[/quote]

Wait...you're telling me Dog showed up a WEEK AGO and suddenly got the guy? Maybe [i]he[/i] should be running the state police for three districts and not whoever the idiots are now.[/quote]

Is there actually a warrant out for Brian? Under what authority would Dog be apprehending him? [/quote]

Well murder rings a bell…

That’s not a warrant for arrest based on a murder charge. But more to the point - Dog is a private citizen? What authority does he have to effect an arrest? [/quote]

Do you not know what a bounty hunter is? Oh dear sweet one...[/quote]

+1 also hasn’t PP heard of a citizen arrest?[/quote]

To save some thumb searching, here is a link to some info on citizen’s arrest. We all have authority under certain conditions.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizen's_arrest[/quote]

Yeah, and don't skip reading this part:

"Anyone who makes a citizen's arrest can find themselves facing possible lawsuits or criminal charges (e.g. charges of false imprisonment, unlawful restraint, kidnapping, or wrongful arrest) if the wrong person is apprehended or a suspect's civil rights are violated.[4] This is especially true when police forces are attempting to determine who an aggressor is. Private citizens do not enjoy the same immunity from civil liability when making arrests on other private citizens as police officers do."

Hence my question. Police operate under certain constraints with regard to evidence. Some guy who decides he can make a citizen's arrest is not necessarily subject to those rules, and I wonder if that screws things up for the cops. And how is one a bounty hunter if there is no bounty? I dealt with someone at work who didn't like my agency's decision-making in his case and threatened to perform a "citizen's arrest" of our judges. Guess what, he was reported for threatening government workers and went to jail.

Personally I have no doubt Brian Laurie killed this woman, though it has yet to be proven of course. But the willingness displayed on here to cede what should be police powers to some person who calls himself Dog, and the figurative baying for blood, disgust me. Let the police or the FBI catch this guy and try him. Private citizens should not be assuming the power of the state.[/quote]

The point is UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS anyone can make a citizen’s arrest. It is just a loophole that MAY apply (or not). Geez.[/quote]

And do those conditions apply? The last 20 pages of this thread are breathless updates on whether Dog is about to apprehend Laurie. Rather loses credibility if Dog has no such authority or would screw up the case for the cops if he tried to exercise it.[/quote]
