As a person who has played both both a Brass Blade and sultansworn at differing times it's a complicated question.
Normally I don't ever try to arrest anyone who isn't already expecting it. Generally when I approach people in the city it's because they are being ICly disruptive. All I usually do is just ask them to calm down, or take it elsewhere. Normally while people are pissed off ICly, they tend to go along with it, because it's kind of cool!
What's the point of pulling out your sword in the quicksand if you don't get a reaction. I like to be that reaction, but I also don't want to interrupt their RP. It's kind of a fine line.
As Osric said, the Sultansworn are not law enforcement. I don't try to act like it. When people don't listen to me ICly, I just play it off, since she really doesn't have any official authority to arrest people. When I am arresting/fighting people it's always part of plots where the Sultana has some sort of interest in it.
I liked playing a Brass Blade while it lasted, but it got pretty lonely pretty fast. Everyone was so very mean ICly to my character (Which they were justified for), and while it was all IC, eventually it became not that much fun to do.
