[QUOTE="GT_EE78, post: 716830, member: 3434"] Do you really think that police have to be an eye witness in order to make an arrest? you don't need to witness a crime to have probable cause that a crime was committed. Probable cause for arrest/detention has the same standard for police as it does for ordinary citizens. So - - if the dad McMichael was instead a local cop patrolling the neighborhood, and he saw a commotion and observed a known burglary suspect sprinting from a known burglary target, he rolls his window down and says “stop” and the suspect keeps sprinting, that is 100% probable cause that he committed another burglary. To think that a cop couldn’t chase this guy down is laughable. And if a cop could chase him down, a citizen could as well, because probable cause is probable cause. [/QUOTE]
