Citizen's arrest is legal in Arizona, lawyer boy:

13-3889. Method of arrest by private person

A private person when making an arrest shall inform the person to be arrested of the intention to arrest him and the cause of the arrest, unless he is then engaged in the commission of an offense, or is pursued immediately after its commission or after an escape, or flees or forcibly resists before the person making the arrest has opportunity so to inform him, or when the giving of such information will imperil the arrest.

You see, lawyer boy, these groups actually did their homework before going out and doing this - because they were well aware that cretins like you were just waiting to claim they were lawbreaking. Libel and slander are the stock in trade of liberals, and unfortunately it appears a few self-professed conservatives seem to engage in it as well.

And here are the grounds for citizen's arrest in Arizona, lawyer boy:

13-3884. Arrest by private person

A private person may make an arrest:

1. When the person to be arrested has in his presence committed a misdemeanor amounting to a breach of the peace, or a felony.

2. When a felony has been in fact committed and he has reasonable ground to believe that the person to be arrested has committed it.
