I would have thought that they were entitled to use reasonable force to eject an unauthorised person from private property, like bouncers in clubs or pubs. I would take it as assault. Do you know if the law exists for an RPI to forcibly remove someone from LUL property? I think they have no such power, assuming it's the same on National Rail. When a fare dodger was playing dead the other day on a train I was on the I don't know if Railway bylaws change things but in normal circumstances; Anyone acting for the owner of the property has the right to use "necessary" force to remove someone. Anyone has the right to arrest anyone else if *they have* committed an arrestable offence. A police officer has the right to arrest anyone if he *suspects they have* committed an arrestable offence. AIUI, the citizen's arrest power only covers serious offences (those which can be punished with imprisonment or something); i don't think it covers fare evasion. Isn't fare evasion delt with under the Theft Act? - I'm not sure but if so that is an arrestable offence. |
