but only against the property and effects of the individual under bail which as Anthony points out is more a case of the bonde surrendering there rights. Prosecution and civil penalties can and are enforced for acts against others. Further these rights mirror in many ways custodial rights of parents over children. Though they do justify creating unusual circumstances that allow greater liberty in use of citizens arrest and self defense as you have a legal justification for normally unacceptable escalations. All of that is just the logical consequence of normally rarely used civil rights to engage in violence (citizens arrest, self defense, defense of others). That coupled with an increase in what is legal to do that could provoke violent response and an acceptable reason to preform those actions all lead to an apparent large increase in legal power that is mostly an illusion. Though this dose create areal substantial increase in violence preformed but we expect a like increase for private security of almost all types (which i assume you accept as legitimate).
