One of the good things about working in a myriad of jurisdictions as I have 
is that you get to see all sorts of systems and they are different. No state 
is the same in matters of arrest or citizens arrest. KY was different than Il 
and both were different than TN
TN the requirements are the loosest I have ever seen. KY and IL fairly 
restrictive, KY more so than IL In KY warrantless custody arrests are the 
ruke rather than the exceptioneven for misdemeanors. Citations are less 
common and citizens arrest very broad even for misdemeanors, andLEO 
requirements are different too. The operative words such as reasonable 
suspicion, probable cause and requirements of on view vary from state to 
state as well as the differences between misdemeanors and felony thresholds 
and so on. In this echo, jurisdictions are muddled. everyone applies the 
standards they are familiar with which are their own, and this is 
unsderstandable, but trying to apply ones own legal requirements and expect 
them to be the same for everyone is not realistic.
In a basic practical understanding I have gained, Southern States give the 
police the broadest aurhority, but are also the ones with the most ussc bad 
rulings limiting police power and authority. A lot of Nprthern officers 
lateral to Nashville and culture shock is quickly overcomr.  It is always 
easier for any {PO to use laxer laws, and adjust to a looser system than it 
is for an officer to go back to stricter systems. Many conversations with 
NYCPD, CHICAGO, and other lateral transfers like northern troopers show why
