>>>身为律师的奚治瑾则建议联邦司法部修改刑法第494条,称现有法律不但妨碍警方保护公民财产,也不允公民保护自己的财产。
根据刑法494, 特别是494(2),公民抓小偷是合法的。
Section 494. (Criminal Code)[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizen%27s_arrest#cite_note-5"][/URL]
(1) ARREST WITHOUT WARRANT BY ANY PERSON
Any one may arrest without warrant/s
(a) a person whom he finds committing an indictable offence; or
(b) a person who, on reasonable grounds, he believes
(i) has committed a criminal offence, and
(ii) is escaping from and freshly pursued by persons who have lawful authority to arrest that person
(2) ARREST BY OWNER, ETC., OF PROPERTY
Any one who is
(a) the owner or a person in lawful possession of property, or
(b) a person authorized by the owner or by a person in lawful possession of property
may arrest without warrant a person whom he finds committing a criminal offence on or in relation to that property.
奚治瑾的说法跟494相悖。
没看到控诉原文, 这篇文章里提到, 警方所控的是“店家捆绑窃贼是过度使用暴力”,
我猜, 这里的争议是, 怎么使用暴力是合适使用, 不让捆绑, 不好办, 偷一把花就给绑起来, 好像有点过分。 |
