So if I were to grab you off of the street, question you, refuse to answer your questions and drop you off 30 minutes later without physically harming you... you'd be fine with that?

That's actually happened to me (except out of my house, not off the street) when my house was misidentified as the location of a domestic violence call.

It was disturbing and a little frightening, but yes, in hindsight I am fine with it. I hope they found the right house and found the person they were looking for.

No. I also wouldn't call it killing or maiming.
