It's not being an idiot when you learn something. You are being exceptional.
i had this workign and other than the arresting traders flaw, (wich is easily fixable) but other than that, detain, escort,search, release worked perfect. bit of glitch escorting into a car but atleast they cant move + get teleported to you escorted agai nonce out of the vehicular device.
but what canadians arnt... im not to good with codes liek this lol ones you gotta put together yourself and what not...but my server has almost every single script known to epoch (except arrest it broke on me :/) name i have it 
private ["_amount","_id","_i","_timer"]; //no idea if these are needed
waituntil {alive player}; // waits till player is logged in
// loop that checks if player has been detained
// globalization: reassigns variable and animation if player forces client to close
// Timer resets if released and re-detained, or if player forces client to close and rejoins
sleep 10;
_amount = 600;
_timer = 600;
while {true} do {
// Checking if player is in animation (for combat loggers)
if ((getPlayerUID player) in PVDZ_ply_Arrst) then {
detained = true;
if (player getVariable "Detain" == 1) then {
// player is in proper animation?
} else {
// if player forces client close re-animation
player setVariable ["Detain",1,true];
sleep 10;

player disableSimulation false; // less intense disable input (not sure if we can force players into cars with this disabled)
} else {
detained = false;

for "_i" from 0 to _timer do {
