Re: Mall security and right to physically detain you

Unless I am mistaken security personnel have the right to perform a citizen's arrest in relation to their job. What I was taught by a lawyer several years ago was at the first confrontation ask "Am I under arrest?" if the answer is no, turn a walk away. If the answer is yes you now have grounds for legal action (assuming you are innocent). To me it is like being asked to leave a business. Just do it and don't argue.

Now, that does not mean they can search me... The Police can when they arrive but the store's personnel cannot in my opinion.
