I tried searching the rules but could not find the answer to my question. What I'd like to know is if a player is carrying items on his person, i.e. backpack filled with items, and is arrested does the captor appropriate all clothing, items, weapons, etc. carried by the arrestee?
Indeed, and people should be able to properly resist arrest ...
As long as you can't defend yourself against arrest, I'm against being able to take items from arrested people.
Arrest should not have been released until combat but that is my opinion.
You can also pick up and put on items that do not belong to you. They will not show up in your inventory but they will take a slot. I don't know if this is bug or not. I would think not as people might need help moving items.
