I'm curious just how much force a store employee (i.e. "loss prevention") CAN use in trying to detain you, beyond grabbing your arm. Can they wrestle you to the floor? Put you in a hold? Spray you with pepper spray? How much can you "resist" without being charged with something? I, for one, have NO intention of EVER stealing anything from a store, and if some wannabe cop suddenly started roughing me up, I would have a very difficult time just standing there helplessly. What could be the consequences if I broke his nose?cb1000rider wrote: They're justified to detain you by reasonable means, which might include grabbing you or grabbing a purse that has a weapon in it.
