What happened to "citizen's arrest." If you held a burglar until the cops showed up it would be OK. What on earth is going on in this country?
A person can effect a valid citizen's arrest for a misdemeanor if they actually witness the crime. Even then, one has to follow the laws in effecting a valid arrest. Just because someone commits a misdemeanor does not give someone else a license to commit a felony.

Amazing, some of these very people defending these vigilantes are the same one's who are frequently screaming about abuses by the police.

Illegal aliens. Notifying the cops. Holding the illegals until they arrive. Sorry, don't see the problem here.
