Reply to comment by WCAIS_PA_Individual in FBI agent who shot, killed dog in Philadelphia will not face charges by StavrosKatsopolis

You answered it yourself a citizen’s arrest. You are acting as a citizen and not law enforcement officer. A police officer off duty cab make a citizen’s arrest but they will typically make an arrest under their law enforcement title because they can and it currently provides legal protections a citizens arrest cant.

So then someone who "can" arrest isn't exactly a LEO. Like a FBI agent. Thanks

No you are doing mental gymnastics. Can you even try to provide any shred of outside documentation stating they are not law enforcement officers in any capacity?

"prosecutors (who are law enforcement officers but not peace officers)" Isn't a prosecutor a DA?
