What section of the Criminal Code protects a private person making a lawful arrest?

Sec 26
Sec 25
Sec 27
None of the above

The correct answer is: Sec 25

The section of the Criminal Code that protects a private person making a lawful arrest is Section 25. This section outlines the circumstances under which a private individual may carry out an arrest and the legal protections afforded to them in doing so. It emphasizes the concept that a private individual can act in defense of themselves or others and can lawfully detain someone if they have reasonable grounds to believe that person has committed an offense. This protection is critical as it recognizes the role of citizens in helping maintain public safety and order, while also stipulating the legal framework within which such actions must occur to ensure that they are justified and lawful. In practical terms, it means that if a person believes they have witnessed a crime, Section 25 allows them to intervene in a manner that is intended to be lawful, thereby protecting their rights and outlining the limits of their authority in such situations.
