You, someone's friends, and someone's mom are not law enforcement investigating a crime.

There's a big difference between these scenarios.

Law enforcement are civilians like you or me. It was a big mistake to grant them special rights. If they can arrest people then it should be legal for you and me to arrest a LEO. Why should any person have special rights in a Democracy?
