A person who detains or arrests another without their consent (or the consent of their guardian) without premeditated intent or ransom for less than one hour.

A person who performs an unlawful citizen’s arrest.


NOTES:
* False Imprisonment is when someone is held against their will for less than one hour, without any premeditated intent (such as a plan to kidnap someone) or when there is no intention to ransom the individual.
* Citizens arrest is a limited tool (defined elsewhere in the penal code) to hold individuals while awaiting police custody. Doing this unlawfully is considered a False Imprisonment.
* If committed against a minor the perpetrator is punishable by the maximum sentence.
