Best Answer

What you're referring to is called a "Citizens Apprehension" or "Citizens Arrest". The laws that allow you to enact one depends on your jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions only allow you to physically detain someone who you have witnessed committing a felony.

Some states and municipalities make possession of handcuffs a crime. Thus placing someone in them could be considered kidnapping.

No more than a "civilian". They are not certified as law enforcement officers in Michigan and therefore do not have powers of arrest. Saying that, they could detain a subject until police arrive, just like a civilian.
