The Police Association is the latest group hesitant about moves to change citizen arrest laws.  

The Government's introducing legislation loosening general public arrest rules, including permitting citizen's arrests at any time of the day in response to retail crime.

Cahill says people make decisions without the full facts in front of them, and while someone may think they're dealing with a teenage offender, things can escalate.
