I'll put it another way. If an American citizen on American soil is detained

by the courts to be under arrest and is due the protections of that status.

FYI, the courts will consider him 'detained.'

The courts use the same definition of 'arrest' that I do.

You can scream all you want about Posse Comitatus, it won't change a thing.

A law that makes it _illegal_ for military personnel to arrest
civilians does not change anything?

The funny thing is that you are so opinionated that you refuse to even
consider it when I tell you how this works in the real world.
