One criticism of Indiana's new self-defense law, eliminating the need to retreat before using deadly force, is that it will lead too many people to shoot first and worry about it later. If most of the people with guns were as quick to take the law into their own hands as these people, there might be a problem:
Two people who helped place a man under citizen's arrest when he strayed onto the wrong property found themselves in jail.
Michigan City police received a call Sunday night from a man who said he had been detained by four people while he was trying to find a friend's house. The man told police he was grabbed by two men and told to quit resisting, as he was under arrest. The man said he complied because he thought they were police officers.
Two women then came out of a nearby house and handcuffed the man, although he tried to explain he was just visiting a friend and had taken the wrong staircase, he told police.The group took the handcuffed man to his friend's house, and released him when the friend vouched for him.
