Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • The Fourth Amendment is not typically implicated in a citizen's arrest because it applies only to state actors. Implicit in this is the notion that the need for protection against unreasonable searches and seizures arises only where the state is the actor performing the search or seizure. When the officer moves beyond his authority to arrest as a citizen and uses his authority as an officer to gather information from a suspect, then the Fourth Amendment may be implicated.
  • The authority for Virginia's implied consent law under Va. Code § 18.2-268.2 flows from the police power of the state and is designed to protect other users of state highways. Therefore, the implied consent law does not take effect without a lawful arrest.
