He should have identified himself quicker... Plain and simple. I have no issues with what he did minus not showing he was an officer quicker... That could get him killed.

An off duty cop making a citizens arrest. Is that illegal? I guess it is in NC.
:dunno:
United States

Each state, with the exception of North Carolina, permits citizen arrests if the commission of a felony is witnessed by the arresting citizen, or when a citizen is asked to assist in the apprehension of a suspect by police. The application of state laws varies widely with respect to misdemeanors, breaches of the peace, and felonies not witnessed by the arresting party. For example, Arizona law allows a citizen's arrest if the arrestor has personally witnessed the offense occurring.[35]

American citizens do not carry the authority or enjoy the legal protections held by police officers, and are held to the principle of strict liability before the courts of civil- and criminal law including, but not limited to, any infringement of another's rights.[36] Nonetheless many citizens' arrests are popular news stories.[37]

Though North Carolina General Statutes have no provision for citizens' arrests, detention by private persons is permitted and applies to both private citizens and police officers outside their jurisdiction.[38] Detention is permitted where probable cause exists that one has committed a felony, breach of peace, physical injury to another person, or theft or destruction of property.[39] Detention is different from an arrest in that in a detention the detainee may not be transported without consent.

Just cause he is off-duty doesn't mean he isn't a licensed peace officer. You can't just turn that off. He is not considered a regular citizen.

That's what I was more or less getting at. He's still a cop, whether he's on or off duty. I think he had every right to do what he did.
