I wonder if the mall property was privately owned. If so, I'm not sure why I everyone is so against their employed security officer. If given proxy by the owner to enforce their will for the use of the property, shouldn't that be respected?

It'd be same if someone was on my property and I told them to stop doing something or leave. If they didn't, they'd be trespassing. Not sure how this is much different.

Granted, I think the woman was a bit big for her breeches because someone gave her a uniform and a badge, but that doesn't change property rights.

It looked like a public road to me.

In any case, if she wants to play the "private property" card, she doesn't need a cop costume & badge to do that. She just needs a polo shirt with the mall logo on it.

Her costume is designed to make you think she has more authority than just a simple "private property employee." That immediately in my eyes makes her a liar, and because of that I will always be inclined to side with the private citizens over a pseudo-private mall cop.

I think you have answered your own question with what I placed in bold. People are people with emotions and react naturally. There are people on this forum I have agreed with from time to time, but can't bring myself to + rep them because I find their posts abrasive. Perhaps some feel the same way about me, I don't know. Maybe if she would have approached those people and said "Hey, can you guys please leave, my job depends on it and I got kids to feed." But instead she went with her in your face, authoritah training.

After watching the video a second time, I realized at the end of the video no one died. Without the presence of LE no one was tazed, no one was shot, no one was murdered. People broke up the fight. In fact there was a stalemate. Frightening to think of the carnage had LE been there or shown up at the wrong time.

Man, that was hard to watch. As a private security officer myself, I wouldn't trust that person to guard a parking lot(which is probably what she was doing). Rule #1 of working any security post is to never, ever, ever, ever ever ever get physical with someone. I have yet to see any private security(PPO excluded) get paid enough that would make getting into hand to hand combat worth it. Not to mention, it is almost always considered assault to be the first one to initiate unwanted contact.

If people are actually on the property and violating the rules, there is a very simple process to resolve the situation: 1. Inform them of the rules. 2. Ask them to leave the property if they do not follow the rules. 3. Have a police officer file a criminal trespass warning with the individuals if they do not leave. 3.1. Arrest them for criminal trespass if they remain on property after being asked to leave and have a police officer take custody of them as soon as possible. At no point is there any reason to be disrespectful, or to get mad at anyone. Honestly, I really don't care what happens to those people and I don't care if they respect my authority, what I do care about is to continue being gainfully employed which requires me to handle situations like that without causing problems for the owner of the property. Like I said, I don't get paid enough to get into a fight, and I don't care about those people enough to not want them in trouble with the police.

Private Security has many valid reasons for using hard uniforms like that. All private security(PPOs excluded) are agents of the property owner, and in the property owner's absence the authority of the property owner rests with the security officer. Hard uniforms make security easily identifiable and helps to deter crime when the officer is visible.

I understand the purpose, and that purpose is to intimidate. It does this by invoking the power of The State, through the similarities in the costume.

It is an evil practice, and however "effective" it is, I cannot condone it.

If you're a private security guard, then be a security guard. Don't pretend to be an Agent of The State.

I do not see how you could logically come to the conclusion that a private security officer wearing a hard uniform is "an evil practice" that invokes "the power of The State" or is inherently intimidating. Anyone with half a brain can tell a cop from a security officer in a heart beat considering it is a felony to wear a uniform that can be mistaken for a police officer when you are not a police officer. It appears to me that you are transferring your dislike of public law enforcement onto private law enforcement. This is the logical fallacy of Composition. I would say that a uniform can not invoke the power of the state. Many people would consider it comforting to see private security on patrol at a place of business.

Generally speaking, there isn't a fight if you follow procedure. If someone doesn't leave after they have been asked, the next step is to call the cops. Even if you arrest them yourself you still have to call the cops to transfer custody. Most places prefer you to just call the cops and let them handle trespassers.

In many jurisdictions an off-duty cop has expanded arrest powers, and expanded immunity, by law. Regardless of whether or not they show a badge.

You said it yourself earlier, that the costume demands instant authority and respect. Where exactly do you think this authority is derived? From the color blue? The style of the outfit? Or because of its similarity to the costume worn by the State?

Yes, it's obvious to anyone that it's a rent-a-cop and not a real cop, but again, why the similar costume? It's mind tricks, to make you believe that person has more authority than a normal employee. And, in many cases, they do have more authority than a normal employee, because their other profession is LEO.

At no time did I state that a "costume demands instant authority and respect". It makes security easily identifiable. If you have never worked in Private Security, you do not know how little authority and respect an officer is given. The vast amount of the authority a security officer has is "theoretical authority" which is narrowed significantly in the policies and procedures provided to the officer by the Owner(s). The respect only comes from the coworkers, everyone else likes to shit on security every chance they get.

Lets settle something. Law Enforcement is an industry. You have Private Law Enforcement, which I currently do, and Public Law Enforcement which the government does. The vast majority of private security employs people who are not Public Law Enforcement. Many have experience in the public sector, but are not currently employed there. I may be private security, but I am still a LEO. I am not a police officer, but I am a Law Enforcement Officer. Considering that every state is different in how they deal with off duty cops, here in Texas, off duty cops working security are doing so as private citizens with only the arrest powers of a private citizen. Also, a rent-a-cop is an off duty police officer who is working private security. They get paid a lot more than your average security. The manner in which you use that phrase is derogatory. As far as wearing similar types of clothing, it has a lot to do with utility. Tee shirts don't cut it, polos don't have pockets or they don't have enough, button down shirts with pockets and shoulder straps are just very useful and are less expensive than suits.

Trespass or loitering? Legally, one cannot be properly charged with trespassing on property that is open to the general public, save for when certain qualifications are met (e.g., entering an area designated off limits or employees only, remaining after hours, impede the operation of the businesses, harass, commencing criminal activities, etc.) Loitering, usually involves a criminal qualifier to uphold the act of loitering in itself.

In any case that security guard was wrong for demanding that people stop taking photographs (there was no expectation or right of privacy for anybody there), she instigated and inflamed that entire situation.

No, that's not really accurate.


Peace officers also have a statutory duty “to preserve the peace within the officer’s jurisdiction.” TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 2.13(a)-(b)(l), (4) (Vernon Supp. 2003). Whenever, in the presence or within the view of a peace officer, “one person is about to commit an offense against the person or property of another,” it is the officer’s duty to prevent it. Id. art. 6.06. “[A] police officer’s ‘off-duty’ status is not a limitation upon the discharge of police authority in the presence of criminal activity.” Wood v. State, 486 S.W.2d 771, 774 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972). A peace officer possesses the full powers of a peace officer in the presence of criminal activity and may take action despite being off-duty. See, e.g., Hafdahl v. State, 805 S.W.2d 396, 401 (Tex. Crim. App. 1990) (en bane) (police officer, driving home after shift ended, was in lawful discharge of his official dutywhen he stopped to investigate scene oftraffic accident), Wood, 486 S.W.2d at 773 (off-duty uniformed police officers directing traffic from private parking lot to street were authorized to make arrest for breach of the peace).

You are wrong about trespassing, at least how the State of Texas views it. If you are on private property and the owner or an agent of the property owner asks you to leave and you do not immediately leave you have committed a misdemeanor of criminal trespass, if you have a firearm on you it is upgraded to felony status, if you resist removal from the property it is upgraded to felony status. All states are different on how they go about protecting private property though.

Off Duty work is often times outside the officer's home jurisdiction.


A peace officer possesses the full powers of a peace officer in the presence of criminal activity and may take action despite being off-duty.

Considering that the arrest powers are the same for a police officer and a citizen when a crime has been witnessed by the arresting party, authority to detain is the only thing I could see being affected in this.

I would say that the reasons private security is “disrespected” are probably two-fold: (1) they at too frequently attempt to enforce laws they don’t fully understand or are nonexistent, and thereby infringe upon the rights of others, upsetting or offending them in the process and (2) the general populace does not fully comprehend that the power of law enforcement (as a social compact) derives from the rights provided to each citizen, as a means to protect both life and property, i.e., citizen’s arrest.

Law enforcement officers working as private security, is wrong on many levels; being that it is effectively the pseudo privatization of law enforcement.

You are wrong about trespassing, at least how the State of Texas views it. If you are on private property and the owner or an agent of the property owner asks you to leave and you do not immediately leave you have committed a misdemeanor of criminal trespass, if you have a firearm on you it is upgraded to felony status, if you resist removal from the property it is upgraded to felony status. All states are different on how they go about protecting private property though.

Well in Texas you can legally be shot and killed merely for being on another's private property uninvited. So being charged with trespassing there would be the least of anybodies worries.

Off Duty work is often times outside the officer's home jurisdiction.

And many times it is in that jurisdiction...


Considering that the arrest powers are the same for a police officer and a citizen when a crime has been witnessed by the arresting party, authority to detain is the only thing I could see being affected in this.

The authority to detain, the authority to write tickets, the authority to confiscate weapons, etc... full police powers. (Not to mention the added benefits of the thin blue line, as far as being immune to prosecution goes)

I'm sure Police didn't just happen to switch from formal wear with the ties to the hard uniforms just because it looked cool.

Yes, because the little girl in this video is using all those extra pockets on her shirt, and the decorations on her shirt bear remarkable resemblance to police costumes because it's just so useful, and has nothing to do with trying to look like a police officer. It's all about the utility pockets. And the utility badge.

The only thing about her costume that actually has any utility is her utility belt. The rest of it is to try and look like a police officer. I don't see why you're trying to deny that, it's obvious on its face that is what the costume's purpose is.

A security officer.. what exactly was she trying to secure? Reflections of sunlight off of objects?

I guess I don't get the 'gonna take yer cameras' thing. Wouldn't the mall erect a fence if reflections of sunlight were compromising the mall's security?

Sad to see it all happen like that.

what was wrong with taking some pictures of the side of the road/highway anyway ?
what authority did the mall sec guard had on the road anyway ?

on the other hand, what if a law was made where all mall sec guards would have the same (superseding) rights just like the state thugs aka peace officers ?

She would get a paid vacation, union rep, and 95% of the "good mall cops" backing her with their silence her on video assault on the other woman.

Okay, that was hilarious! Probably didn't need to go down like that though. Oh and what the hell was the mall cop doing with handcuffs?
Have you never heard of "Gecko45".

Do you know what a Mall Ninja is. (haven't gone through the whole thread, yet)
