You correct. I have worked in and studied the Private Security Field for years. You should know, however, that all experts recommend you do not attempt a citizen's arest for many reasons: 1) If it is not a felony, but a misdemeanor, you will probably be sued. 2) If you don't have the proper training on law you will probably be sued. 3) If it is a Law Enforcer you will probably be beaten, assaulted, or killed. 4) It is highly dangrous to life and limb without proper training. Yes, you CAN make a citizen's arrest for ANY crime, but you should not ever do so unless it is a felony because you require two or more witnesses otherwise along with a damn good amount of proof. YES, you are not required to read Miranda Rights. YES, you can always use force to detain, but you need to be absolutely certain and able to proof you are correct, or you will spend your entire life paying for a lawsuit. It is not really illegal to resist a citizen's arrest, but the criminal may be charged and/or sued with assault if they do! I wouldn't detain them for more than an hour if the police did not arrive. However, in that time I would attempt to gain information from them to give to the police. If you are under a citizen's arrest they CAN transport you without consent provided they have already made the commitment and are willing to suffer the possible consequences - citzens are not immune from screw-ups like law enforcers. If you are under a citizen's arrest the best thing you can do is IGNORE the citizen, give them no information, and leave the seen immediately.

Everyone must be mirandized [read their rights] , in order for a court to legally prosecute a suspect. That's why they do that. So in theory, yes they have too.
