...is that people with absolutely no training or experience in law enforcement shouldn't be pontificating on tactics peculiar to a particular arrest being the correct procedure in every single case. You tailor your tactics to the individual situation. In the case of felony evidence recovery, you don't wait outside for hours or make the arrests away from the location of the evidence, as people have suggested. Recovering the evidence is JUST as important as making the arrest, because without the evidence, the arrest is futile and a waste of time.
