[8] On occasion, governments with such constitutional requirements have been accused of expanding the definition of flagrante delicto to make unlawful arrests.

[10] In pari delicto is a Latin term meaning «in equal debt». It is a legal doctrine that prevents a plaintiff involved in misconduct from obtaining compensation for losses resulting from the misconduct. If the parties to a dispute have equal rights, neither of them can obtain a positive remedy from the court, because both are equally guilty or guilty.
They remain in the same situation as before the action began. The term combines the current active participle flagrāns (flamboyant or flamboyant) with the noun dēlictum (insult, iniquity or crime). In this term, the Latin preposition in, which indicates no movement, takes the ablative. The next literal translation would be «open in flamboyant», where «flamberus» is a metaphor for energetic and highly visible action. If the parties to a dispute are held liable pari delicto as accomplices, the remedies available to them are limited. Since both parties were equally liable for the commission of an offence, they are not entitled to compensation as a remedy, although either party may require a contribution from the other party, or if one party is liable on behalf of another party and must pay more than its proportionate share, it may require contributions from that other Party. However, accomplices who are not equal may, in principle, be entitled to compensation from the other party. If the perpetrators violated a just standard in both scenarios, the clean hands doctrine may further limit the provision of just remedies.
