Best Answer

Law enforcement officers can make arrests based upon "Probable Cause." A citizens power to make an "arrest" is MUCH more limited - usually confined only to felony offenses - and confined to only those where the citizen actually observes, or observed, the offense take place and they took immediate action to prevent bodily harm or prevent the escape of a fleeing felon. .
