It depends on where you live. Different laws in different places give citizens there different authorities. Some states statutes take the view that citizens abdicated all of their power when they formed a government, other states take the attitude that a government formed by the people can not have any powers the people themselves do not possess and the mere formation of a central govt. was not an abdication of citizen authority. Used to be most of the arrests made by NYC Auxiliary Police were citizen's arrests. Some were damn good arrests too. Then we get to them matter of other countries. In some the authority of the citizen to detain for a court is large, in others minimal or none. It depends.

Agree with Ken 19.

I doubt that in my country one day the citizens could arrest the corrupted, when today they can hardly expect the judges do condemn them.

I saw the same thing too but didn't give it too much weight.

Citizens arrests probably happen but I've never witnessed it myself.

Although Mr. Rick claims to be a New Yorker, given some of his poll questions he is obviously not knowledgeable about a lot of US history or else he surely would have already known about one of the most violent (and spectacular) citizen arrest incidents in US History. Coffyville, KS and the day the Dalton gang and the James brothers decided to rob a bank, but were spotted in the act.
