* Passive resistance negates the implied force of a firearm.
* It also reduces your options in how much force you can legally use.
* Be prepared to use alternative levels of force at all times.
* As long as he passively resists, your use of force must be the minimum necessary to stop or apprehend him.
* Permanently injuring him will likely be deemed an illegal assault. Use caution in your application of force.
* Provoking him to violence may be viewed as escalating the situation so you could shoot him. Use care.
* You do not need to be polite, courteous or nice about your commands or application of force. But you must be within legal limits.
* If nothing else, video or photos of him in the act are always good evidence.
* It is unwise to attempt to capture - handcuff or tie him up - alone. It's better to drive him away.
* If you incapacitate him, you're responsible for his safety (i.e. not allowing him to suffocate, drown, etc.)
* The use of non-lethal and non-permanently injuring equipment is preferred -- OC spray, taser, stun gun, etc. - but only to enforce his compliance, not as a punitive action.
* Always look for his accomplice(s) and/or his means of escape (car, bike, bicycle, etc.)
* Know your state laws regarding arrests and using force to protect your property.
