The Police IIEnzyme asks: Have you ever been arrested? Been thrown down the stairs by the West Midlands Serious Crime Squad, with hi-LAR-ious consequences? Or maybe you're a member of the police force with chortlesome anecdotes about particularly stupid people you've encountered.
Do tell.

^ ThisThe whole problem is the vague subjectivity of 'reasonable force'. How much is reasonable? A third-dan judoka who finds someone breaking into his house might think that putting the intruder in a joint-lock until the police arrive is perfectly reasonable (given the size of the tin of whupass he's able to open) but to the average person who knows no martial arts, it might seem cruel and unusual punishment.
It's like the offence of using insulting behaviour. The legal definition of insulting behaviour? Behaviour that is insulting. Glad we cleared that one up, then.
