Many different national laws allow for what is formally known as "citizen's arrest". You can arrest someone and turn them over to the police, if circumstances warrant. Of course, if circumstances do not warrant and you decide to arrest someone anyway, you can be charged with false imprisonment or kidnapping. So do not abuse this law.
Acceptable circumstances vary from country to country, and can include;
- Directly witnessed the crime being committed,
- Preventing the criminal from escaping before police can arrive,
- Preventing the renewal or continuation of criminal damage,
- Preventing the injury of either the public, or the criminal themself,
- Some countries allow any citizen to arrest someone who has escaped from prison or custody.
No. Obstruction would be if you got in the way of the police trying to capture a criminal. This would have to be on purpose on your part, not by accident.

The criminal justice system (in the United States) endeavors to maintain public safety and personal freedoms by dealing with criminal activity. There are 3 main agencies: the police, the courts, and the correctional agencies. The police identify and investigate activity that violates criminal law. The courts take criminal activity and hold a fair trial, ultimately determining if somebody has violated criminal law and what consequences they will face. Then the correctional agencies will carry out the consequences, while upholding the criminal's personal rights.
If your brother is a criminal you should call the police and ask them what to do from there.

Yes it is.
The three agencies in criminal justice (in a consensus model, like in the United States) are the police, criminal courts, and correctional agencies. A case will go through the agencies in that order, starting with the police (which identifies crimes) and ending with the correctional agencies (once the agency reforms and reintroduces the convict to the public). The police identify and investigate crimes, the courts hold trials and sentence those found guilty of crimes, and the correctional agencies carry out the sentences that the courts set.
