The problem with citizens arrest is enforcing the arrest, a d proving it in court which will surely follow at the auspesus of A LU.

Everyone has the power to make a citizen's arrest. If you, as a civilian, violate a traffic regulation on a military base, for example, the Military Police will make a citizen's arrest.

Try making a citizens arrest in Chicago. You'll find yourself in hot water with the law on a host of charges. That list will include assault and illegal restraint. Bank guards can't leave the premises in pursuit of a robber. If they catch the guy in the lobby they can cuff him though. You can't but they can.

why anybody would want to be a LEO in todays political climate I have no clue.
I wanted to be a cop, then I got shot up and crippled in Vietnam and that ended my chance of being one.
So, I became a draftsman and later a mechanical engineer.
