I wonder if that won't really work well in real life.

I remember reading the difference between a citizen and a police officer is that a police officer can arrest people for misdemeanors (while a citizen can do a citizen's arrest for felonies I believe).

There's probably a good reason citizens shouldn't easily be able to prey or stir up trouble with no friction.

that said, surveillance by private companies should be regulated, and people should have access to data collected about themselves.
