AI Summary

The "Citizen's Arrest" bill aims to amend the federal criminal code to limit the authority of private individuals to make arrests. It prohibits a person who is not a federal law enforcement officer from detaining another individual based on suspected criminal activity unless certain conditions are met, such as witnessing the offense or having reasonable cause to believe it occurred. The bill seeks to prevent potential misuse of citizen's arrest powers and promote public safety by ensuring that arrests are conducted by trained law enforcement professionals.
