Still, you can't just have random people going around questioning and trying to detain people because they "think" some might be planning to commit a crime. These powers should be carefully handed to people based on training, education and individual assessments. Otherwise you run the risk of having groups of people enforcing laws based on their own interpretations and not in conjuction with the rights of the people. If you want to see an extreme example of what happens, look no further than Afghanistan.
People have the right to walk down the street without being questioned or challenged by armed vigilantes.
