What are the laws for citizens arrest in pennsylvania?

Question

im 13 years old and love police and fbi stuff. is there a way that i could put somone under citizens arrest? and how would i be able to do that.

Answer 1

Making a citizens arrest is a very complicated and sometimes dangerous event, all states allow citizens arrest if a person observes a felony being committed, however the laws pertaining to citizens arrest for a misdemeanor are very vague and complicated, a false arrest could easily lead to the arrester being arrested and may even result in serious bodily harm if you attempt to arrest the wrong person.~
