For the sake of argument, suppose you have his name or "street name" and/or he is generally "known to the police" (they ALWAYS are LOL).
Since we aren't paid enough, and certainly don't have the same support as police, it would be a rare case where I'd even consider going "hands on" with Citizen's Arrest.
But if Subject "breaks away" after otherwise lawful and legit CA, and IIRC the cops are "required" to take any CA seriously and take subject into custody or something, what happens if subject is no longer present?
Are cops in anyway required to help or get involved in a meaningful way?
I'm guessing this varies greatly by State, since IIRC in MI only Felonies are OK for Citizen's Arrests (by guard or others).
