At BEST this stunt will result in jail time.

It might be cool to do it symbolically (in effigy) at a protest.

If you want to do the real thing, you would first try to convince the police to DO it. The way these things usually work would be if you witness a felony and a cop soon after appears on the scene who did not witness the event. You can then demand that the cop help you with the citizens' arrest BUT you will still be open to prosecution for wrongful arrest.

Barging into a Secretary of State's Office with Bouncers and handcuffs could get people killed.
