| | | Posted by unlighted-zero As most people said, be polite and honest but don't be OVER polite. There's a reason why the cops say "anything you say can and will be used against you..." when you're arrested. Don't yap too much or offer up information that wasn't asked for specifically cause it might come back to bite you in the ass.
| Agreed. A friend and I got caught exiting the property of an old jail. The cop did not actually see us within the fence, but saw us as we were walking away. He called us over to his car, saw our cameras, and new we were not up to anything bad. We put on our "clueless women" faces, were very polite, and gave information as he asked....EXCEPT that we had been inside. He didn't ask, we didn't tell. We walked away with only warnings, but I think that is partly because he had no proof we had been within the "No Trespassing" zone. Who knows? He was pretty cool. Just be cool, and the cop will probably be, too.

| | | Arrest and detainment laws in the US are always going to vary by the state (and maybe even local laws, but I'm not sure on that). Here in Washington state, a citizen's arrest can be made by anyone who personally witnesses the commission of a misdemeanor or felony. As many people here have said, however, most contract security companies have policies prohibiting their guards from detaining people or making citizen's arrests. If you are going to be run down and tackled by employees of an active site, it's probably more likely they will be construction workers, or janitors, or something like that. As to the shoplifter thing, what I did a few times as a security guard was just stomp up to the person, give them a serious ugly eye, and grab the stolen shit right out of their hands. Once it was a bag of CD's, and the other time it was a fancy electric folding bicycle from Sharper Image. Both times, the thief tried to argue that I was seizing their personal property, and both times I just told them "If I'm stealing from you, let's just call the police." Both times the guy ended up leaving with his tail tucked between his legs. I imagine my employer company wouldn't like me doing that, since it's a bit confrontational. The guys in our client's property management office loved it though, and since they were the ones paying the bills, I was allowed to use my own discretion.

| | | I've done everything in this thread listed and have gotten away every time. From running from police, running from security, walking up to and talking to both, walking away from security and jumping out a window, waving to security as I entered the steam tunnels, bombing the security truck with empty beer bottles from the rooftop of an abandoned insane asylum, hid in the dark, hid in a closet, hid in an attic, hid in an elevator motor room, hid under a desk, yelled threateningly with murderous epithets and watched the security run away from me... even sat in a couple of patrol cars only to be let free and once given my knife and bag of weed back. I don't have an arrest record and I'm always polite to Police. I also always find a way to mention my old man was a 30 year vet of the Philly fire dept. and the police usually comment positively at that. I respect the police and their stressful, dangerous job. Most times it's just another guy or gal like you and I with a shitty job, raising a family and paying bills like every other person. Security? All bets are off for those fucking boneheads.

| Ouch, I'm hurt. Nah, it's not secret that no matter where you go at least in the U.S security guards are either of three categories 1) Don't pay attention and won't care 2) Care a bit too much and have a power complex 3) Do their job but as long as you're not breaking shit or being an asshole they'll let you do whatever. No matter the category as long as they didn't call the cops you can walk away.
