    Yes, it’s called turning yourself in, and people do it because they feel guilty, or they know they’re going to be caught anyways, and are hoping cooperation earns them a lesser sentence.

    Technically speaking, I think to arrest someone you must take them into your custody. You can’t take yourself into the custody of yourself since, as an individual, you’re already in your own custody by the nature of free will.

      True.

      But I mean less like a surrender, more like they call the law on themself and then handcuff themself…

        I mean, why?

        At most I could see the value of locking yourself in a room for protection as waking up from a psycotic episode where you have attacked others and fear for your own life.

        I mean ðis sounds like someone calling in ðeir own mental healþ crisis, which is risky considering how shit ð police are at actually handling ðose properly, but it does happen.
