True or False: Any citizen can arrest on a "Found Committing" Criminal offence.

In Canada, the principle behind a citizen's arrest is that any individual can arrest someone who is found committing a criminal offense. However, this is not universally applicable to all situations, and specific legal criteria must be met. Particularly, the law allows any person to make a citizen's arrest only if they find someone committing a crime and that they must detain the individual until a peace officer arrives.

While this means that citizens do have the right to intervene in certain situations, it does not mean that every citizen can freely arrest without conditions. For example, the person must have reasonable grounds to believe that the arrest is necessary for preserving evidence, preventing further harm, or protecting themselves or others. The legal nuances around citizen's arrests indicate that while citizens can act, there are limitations that prevent broad application of this right.

Thus, the statement presented in the question oversimplifies the legal framework regarding citizen's arrests, leading to the conclusion that the correct response is that the statement is false. This understanding emphasizes the importance of knowing the specific conditions under which a citizen's arrest can be legally conducted.
