I suggest you check into that further. "Arrest" may be a precise legal term
but field application of "arrest" may not be. If anyone is "held" (prevented
from moving at their disgression) then it can be succussfully argued that
they have been arrested. The question to ask is "Am I free to leave or am I
being detained?" If the answer is detained then you have been "arrested" and
are due the protections of that status.

Wrong. Using this rule - anybody has the authority to 'arrest.' This
is why there is such a clear legal distinction between the authority
to 'arrest' and the authority to 'detain.'
