Of course they could. If the use of bloodbending was justified. Then, I think being in the Avatar State would enable them to do it. Heck, Aang almost killed Ozai in the Avatar State. And, one can argue that killing is also stealing a person's physical freedom (aside from other things).

On a side note, I think they can go beyond bloodbending in the Avatar State. If this wasn't a kid's show, they could maybe even drain someone of all their bodily liquids or rupture organs or freeze someone's blood.
