Fleeing Felon Rule?
Has anyone ever heard of this? I was browsing wikipedia the other day and came across this article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleeing_felon_rule
In Common law, the Fleeing Felon Rule permits the use of force, including deadly force, against an individual who is suspected of a felony and is in clear flight.[citation needed] Force may be used by the victim, bystanders, or police officers.
Any ideas/laws?"Improvise. Adapt. Overcome."
