lol my husband and I were just doing some shopping at one of our big chain stores here. When we were walking up we saw one young guy come out (looked early 20's) followed by the store security person who grab the guy's jacket and yanked him around. We held back across the cross walk as we had our kids with us and didn't want to get near them if it turned into a fight. The guy who he grabbed looked about ready to punch him till the security guy yelled something at him along the lines of to walk with him quietly and only get theft charges or carry on and get charged with more. So the kid did back down and go with him back to the security office. Anyway my question is are they allowed to do that? back in the day when I worked at that store, they were not allowed to go outside and get them, they had to still be in the store and they definately were not allowed to grab them that way. The kid did steal something (not sure what though). I was very shocked at how aggresive the security guy was, just wondering if anyone knows the law on those things? Not that I'm trying to defend the kid who stole lol, he pretty much got what he deserved. Just wondering how much of that is actually allowed?
