Arrest doesnt mean "legal" arrest. It just means seizing a person. Whether that arrest was legal or not is an entirely separate matter. In this case of course it was very much illegal.

It's another lie through omission, because it carries a connotation of legality. That's why you don't read news like "the convicted criminal arrested his victim in the park".

Sure but the headline makes them see more in the right.
