Private firms may be given powers to arrest people | Daily Mail Online

'Private firms may be given new powers to arrest people in a controversial move that has raised alarm. '

'The plans would see HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) privatising part of its compliance and enforcement operations in a deal worth £290million. '

'The proposals would allow, for the first time, staff from companies such as G4S to arrest members of the public for failing to pay fines imposed by the courts. '

'This would include the arrest and detention of individuals who fail to pay off their debts and haul them to court. '

'But this would potentially be a sweeping expansion of the powers – covering so-called warrants of arrest, which are issued by JPs to compel an indivual to attend court. '
