在纽约州，公民有执法权，具体见下面 New York State's Criminal Procedure Law (Chapter 11-A). 就这件事情，我反感吸烟，但更反感某些人自作主张，在中国，草民还是要老实一些，不然麻烦很多。
Under New York State's Criminal Procedure Law (Chapter 11-A), specifically in Article 140, which covers arrests without a warrant. This section explicitly authorizes "arrest without a warrant; by any person; when and where authorized," defining conditions for citizen's arrests statewide, including in New York City. The law applies uniformly across the state, with no separate city-specific version.
