Was Zimmerman engaged in an "unlawful activity" when he first tried to stop Martin? Zimmerman did not have any law enforcement authority, so if he instigated the contact that would be at least battery. Thus, it would seem he is precluded from benefiting from 776.013(3). I think the law should have an objective standard for reasonableness instead of the subjective one they have now.
