Jayce stood, bound from the neck down, with the exception of a single arm sticking out of the rope.
"Policcce brutality, issssn't that what they call it?"
His free hand slid down the ropes as his hissing voice drolled on, the powerful acid eating through the bindings, and pulling it away as easy as someone unzipping a jacket.
"Wassssn't it Toledo that had half the ccccity in riotsss becausssse of this? It wasssn't even the criminal element either, jussst the local public who had put up with enough of the 'authorities' abuse of power."

::Robin rewrapped his fingers around his staff in a tighter grip, becoming increasingly annoyed at how this fight wasn't getting anywhere:: You don't have anything against us to take into court. But since you're so sure about your innocence I guess there's no harm in taking a second look at what's on the tape. ::he now referred to the security camera:: Agreed?

"Whoa" Kid Flash said as he stopped beside Robin. "This guy's a bit of a toughy isn't he?" he asked, then turning to Jayce.
"Excuse me, but I think you need to go take a look at a dictionary pal. Police Brutality is excessive use of force. Tying a criminal up is not excessive force, expecially if he can melt the ropes anyway. Also you may note that we are not cops, but superheroes. Reasonable force depends on the power of the criminal. You have super powers, so it's reasonable for us to use force until you give up."
Kid Flash grinned at Jayce. "Like Rob said, you want to prove your innocence let's look at the tape." he said zooming in a blur over to the security camera and setting things up.

"And now the 'Ssssuper heroessss' bow down to tampering with the evidence."
As calm as could be, Jayce turned his heels towards the door, and wandered almost aimlessly in its direction.
"Raven, would you be a dear and drop your field sssso that I might continue out and about my way? I do believe I am finisssshed with what I have come to prove here."
They all stood and watched as Jayce pulled a near invisible fishing line that had been tied to the camera. The recording device pivoted on its hinges until it was facing nearly straight down...at a full cash register, not a penny missing.

Heh, not too far fetched. *She looked to the door, and could make out a figure standing a few feet infront of it. * Well, it seems that it is over, now. Theres something covering the door.. but I have no doubts that the person behind it is also the person who was the " robber" is this little game...

"Even if you didn't steal, the evidence so far shows that you did indeed assault the shopkeeper, which in case you didn't know IS a crime." Kid Flash retorted. "And if you think setting up the camera to a TV so we can see what happened tampering with evidence than yet again I say go read a dictionary."

Jayce's eyes glinted all to knowingly.
"Sssssetting up the camera to a TV to ssssee what it's showing right now issss no harm at all, but the moment you remove the tape from it, or halt itssssss recording to ssssee what hassss already been put on it....That, ssssunshine, isss tampering with evidence."

"Ah so in your excellent opinion, all cops tamper with evidence to try to figure out a crime." Kid Flash answered, getting a little miffed. "For a person with super powers. To tie a fishing line to the camera so YOU can control where it points and who also assaulted a shopkeeper, you're one to talk."

Jayce smiled behind his mask, and it lit up in his eyes.
"Nobody sssaid I wassss the good guy. Ssssome of usss are ok with that."

*Stares back at Jayce* I'm not going to lower that shield unless you answer Robin's questions.

We were never under the impression you were the good guy. That clerk will be a witness, since as you said he'll live free of harm, which means he has every right to prosecute you. Until then we have every right to turn you into jail. So I'm placing you under arrest for attempted murder, assault, and possible thievery. I don't know why you think you can just walk out of here with so much against you, but one more false move and we're taking you down.

*steps out from behind a shelf now full of "Borat" figurines and raises one hand in objection*
Speaking as the random observer in all this, I'm going to point out that the "attempted murder" garbage is a small lie from the mouth of your trigger-happy ally over there. I do believe this venom-squirting lump of hilarity over here, *standing behind Jayce suddenly and pointing to the area where the clerk had been* has told you all far more than once that the venom's effect was only a temporary paralysis and nothing more.
*spreading both wings, he leaps to the ceiling, anchoring all claws in and hanging upside down to look at everyone with one eye shut*
That said, you can bring him in for assault and possible fooling around with a security camera, but nothing more. After all, every bit of cash is *snaps fingers as the money in the drawer turns into a puddle of orange juice* was there. *grin*

Then you are going to jail. Plain and simple.

Jayce's eyes glittered eerily as he stepped up to a mere two feet from where Raven stood.
"Five dayssss in the county jail for minor asssault."
His arms rose slowly, his fists balled. Both wrists met as he slowly extended his arms, until they were locked straight out.
"Take me away gorgouesssssssssss."
Jayce's hands hovered a mere inch from her collarbone, arms pressed together like someone waiting to be handcuffed.
"Who knowssss, I might even be out ssssooner if I am a good little sssssnake and cooperate with your 'arresssst'. Can't really presssss resissssting arressst on me now even, can you?"
