Statutes does not tell WHO to enforce the laws, in most cases, they just state what is illegal. And in some cases such as concealed carry exceptions to what is illegal. If the law had to spell out WHO enforced the law, then no laws would be enforced.Ww what were the charges you would enforce? As asked was there a specific statute that alllowes you enforce said laws? We are GIVEN power by the laws themselves. Maybe your state had a clause that allowed that. I won't even ask for a cite because you won't provide one.
So you would drop a guy off for detention and the prosecutor would file charges? What? You wouldn't file charges? You guys have a prosecutor on at 3am? Or did you PD have operating hrs?
And finally... you can only hold someone on an out of state warrant if you have an intradition agreement. For example I had a girl stopped a few months ago. She had a hit for a warrant from RI. It was a bogus drunk in public charge. Only a misdemeanor. It said right o the Ncics hit that they would NOT come get her because it was a misdemeanor. So she got kicked loose. Some states don't have agreements on certain warrants. On the flip side I have locked a guy up on an out of state warrant. He was a bail jumper from Georgia I believe. It wasn't Georgia warrant that gave me power it was my states version and charge. It was a a complete separate charge and warrant from my state that gave me power to arrest him. But that charge was based on him fleeing Georgia.

Have you seen anything in the BOR 4th or 5th amendment that mentions police?
Mass cannot charge a person with a act in Georgia! No matter what law they enact, it is unconstitutional. They can arrest and hold on federal and constitutional authority. So again without federal stepping in no arrest or detention.
Bounty hunters are a classic example, their power to retrieve a jumper in another state is based on a FEDERAL SCOTUS decision. The states only enact laws what they can't do, and the standards they have to meet, not what they can do. That is not the purpose of laws.
Also the military is blocked from enforcing civilian local, state, and federal law by a law. Posse Comitatus Act, making illegal for active duty soldiers to act as police except under exceptions spelled out in the law. For a law to have a exception it would have to be a law in the first place.
