The mere presence alone of Guardsmen patrolling the streets, "walking a beat", will deter crime. "They can't arrest people." So? They don't need to, they're sentinels, information gatherers, overhead ISR if that's allowed in the capital. Run up JLENS here and there...presence and information.

Dudes aren't running and gunning with a SAW or chucking flashbangs. Sheesh.

Question without notice: wouldn’t they have no more rights to arrest than an ordinary civilian?

Generally, they wouldn't have any additional authority. But under certain circumstances, the president and/ or the state governor can "deputize" them to be peace officers. It has to be some serious shit, so not likely.
