The power to arrest anyone for any reason.

Explanation: The SS (especially after Himmler gained control of the police) and its security organs (including the Gestapo and SD) had broad authority to detain and arrest people arbitrarily, without normal legal protections. They did not create laws or run the overall economy, and organizing party rallies was not their primary role.
