HB 1294 Indiana House · 2025 Regular Session

Citizen's arrests.

This bill prohibits ordinary people from making arrests without police involvement, directly affecting anyone who might attempt a "citizen's arrest" under current law. It would replace existing provisions with a clear ban on such arrests, removing the ability for non-law enforcement individuals to detain others. The bill makes no exceptions or additional requirements, focusing solely on eliminating the practice. (Note: As a procedural bill, this summary reflects the abstract's stated prohibition without additional mechanisms.)
