Here's a rather funny picture from Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Baldknobbersrr.jpg
OXFORD:
- noun a member of a self-appointed group of people who undertake law enforcement in their community without legal authority, typically because the legal agencies are thought to be inadequate.
Merriam Webster:
: a member of a volunteer committee organized to suppress and punish crime summarily (as when the processes of law are viewed as inadequate) broadly : a self-appointed doer of justice
