Ah, no they aren’t in the sense you’re referring to. It has to be a felony offense caught in the act or just cause and you’d better have a plethora of witnesses. You can’t arrest someone as a citizen for a past offense without just cause and certainly not for civil offenses. That shit can get a citizen into kidnapping charges if you unlawfully start detaining people. Citizen arrests are very restricted.
