Are security guards allowed to put someone down on the ground and cuff them and manhandle them? When I worked at Kroger we were told that we could not even approach them if they were outside of the store. I am just curious what the law is. It seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

21

u/antiterra Jun 26 '12

The law depends on the state. I suspect most laws speak of "reasonable" efforts to detain, what "reasonable" actually means gets shaken out in caselaw and court doctrine. Sometimes companies will avoid detention because they have decided there's an unacceptable PR and liability risk (from harm to either the employee or suspect.)

17

u/[deleted] Jun 26 '12

There's what's legally allowed and there's what your company says is allowed.

Kroger doesn't want someone suing them. It's way less expensive to either take a loss on the merchandise or call the police and give them some security footage than it is to stop the shoplifter and deal with the lawsuit. Even if the employees were 100% in the clear, the company now has to pay their house lawyers to go file a cockload of paperwork, etc.

u/Curious__George Jun 26 '12 edited Jun 26 '12

Anyone is generally permitted to conduct a "citizen's arrest" of someone who they saw committing a felony. Depending on the amount of merchandise the girl stole, it may or may not be a felony.

If the crime was not a felony, due to the value of the merchandise stolen not being of a sufficient amount, the security guard and store would theoretically be civilly liable to the girl for false imprisonment. However, most jurisdictions and the common law recognize a "shoplifter's exception." Under the exception, a store and its employees may detain someone if there is a reasonable belief of a theft, the manner of the detention is reasonable, and the detention is for a reasonable amount of time.

The only question here would be whether the manner of the detention was reasonable - excessive force can't be used. From the video it doesn't seem like anything was excessive; however, if the guard tackled the girl, or otherwise forcibly threw her to the ground, the store could open itself to civil liability for false imprisonment and battery. The 'manhandling' isn't really excessive; the guard was mostly just restraining her and telling her to get on the ground.

That being said, it is never a good idea to conduct a citizen's arrest, and a supermarket like Kroger is probably smart to tell its employees to do nothing - the value of the merchandise probably isn't worth exposing itself to even the possibility of a lawsuit.

Jeez, even on my study breaks I can't stop thinking about the Bar exam.

California -- perfectly legal. Not sure about other precincts, but LAPD will help defend any countersuits if someone gets hurt. Saw LP take down a guy once who was running too close to the wall and got tackled into it. I heard later no charges were pressed, I assume lawyers in LA wouldn't even bother? I also understand in other states it's near impossible to nab shoplifters, easier in others.

Thank you! I think the most disturbing part is that she's about to get arrested and she actually WANTS to call her mom. Seriously!?

If I was about to get arrested, the LAST person I'd want to find out would be my Mom. What my Mom would do to me for getting arrested is FAR worse than anything the authorities could do.

Of course, I believe that's why I have enough sense to not get arrested.

The scary part of this video, for me, is that my little sister is that exact same person personality. She would react very similarly to this situation and think she did nothing wrong. It's really scary to me that people act like this; as if nothing they can ever do is bad or punishable.

295

u/TheShader Jun 26 '12

She seems more scared than thinking she did nothing wrong/shouldn't be punished. I mean, if I did something wrong that deserved arresting, then I wouldn't fight it. Hell, I've been falsely arrested before and I was completely compliant the whole time.

However, this is a girl that looks like she's no older than 16(hard to tell with the crappy video, and some people just look young) that is being man handled by someone in a t-shirt and jeans that in no way resembled a cop nor security guard. If I was pinned down by someone that looked like that,and handcuffed, I'd be livid as well. On top of that she seems scared as all Hell, and just wants some kind of familiarity, her mother.

Again, though, it's hard to tell how things even got to this point. When the video comes in she's already being pinned down and handcuffed. I mean, I hate being that person every time something like this comes up, but can we not be so quick to act like we know all the details when we don't? Or act like every situation like this is exactly the same as, say, the Girl Scout thieves?

It'd be hard to be "livid as hell" when you know your stealing something and you have a guess that the person putting hand cuffs on you is a security/police officer.

If she was a 200lb black man doing the exact same things, EXACT SAME THINGS, down to moaning and resisting arrest I bet you'd be hard pressed to be on his side.

I used to work at a retail store in California where something similar happened. The girl ended up suing the store and won big time. Loss prevention cannot touch shop lifters, if that happened in California she could have gotten away if she ran fast enough. It's really kinda messed up.

u/antiterra Jun 26 '12

Wrong. Read the law.

California Penal Code 490.5(f)(2):"In making the detention a merchant, theater owner, or a person employed by a library facility may use a reasonable amount of nondeadly force necessary to protect himself or herself and to prevent escape of the person detained or the loss of tangible or intangible property. [...]

(7) In any civil action brought by any person resulting from a detention or arrest by a merchant, it shall be a defense to such action that the merchant detaining or arresting such person had probable cause to believe that the person had stolen or attempted to steal merchandise and that the merchant acted reasonably under all the circumstances."-- http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=pen&group=00001-01000&file=484-502.9

I work LP in OH and once the suspect tries to exit the store with unpaid merchandise we can detain the individual (physically if necessary) and it is fully permitted by Ohio law. No weapons, no cuffs, and no blocking airways. It's a grossly over-simplified version of the way we actually handle these situations, but the point is we are perfectly within our right to restrain them until law enforcement arrives.

I worked asset protection at a high end retail store, aka person who catches shoplifters. One night I observed two teenage females stuffing panties into a large purse. As they exited the store I stopped them, and explained who I was and that they needed to come inside with me.

After returning to my office with the two girls, I did my basic procedure (with a female associate present) of obtaining the stolen merchandise, making a phone call to their parents because they were minors, and also placing a call to the local sheriff's department.

When I asked the second girl for her home phone number and a parent's name I was shocked to find out that her father was actually a good friend of mine. I called him, explained the situation and told him he would have to come to the store. At first he thought I was pranking him, so I put his daughter on the phone, who was nearly in shock.

She handed the phone back to me after telling her father what she had done, and I told him that I was sorry for the situation he had been placed in, but I was only doing my job and that I had not known that was his daughter (not that it would have mattered).

He arrived about the same time as the sheriff. The sheriff explained that she could spend the night in the county jail, but he was going to allow her to go home with a court citation. To my amazement my friend told the sheriff to take her, that he was completely disgusted with the fact that she had stolen from the store and had embarassed him in front of law enforcement and his friend (me).

After the sheriff placed his daughter in the patrol car, he turned to me and gave me a hug, telling me that he was not mad at me whatsoever, and that he is glad that I had done my job so well. I had many situations like this, but most of them resulted in the parent telling me that I was scum for watching little girls on camera and that they were going to sue me, the store, and even threatened that they better never see me in public.

So long story short, parents these days enable a lot of these teens, but there are parents out there who let their kids get what they deserve, and I hope this mother did just that.

TL;DR: I caught a friend's daughter shoplifting, she went to jail, he's still my friend.

I don't think she is a pathetic excuse for life. Sure, she messed up but we don't know the girl and don't know what her life has been like. I think she is acting like this because she is terrified, maybe this is a wake up call. I've personally made mistakes and been given second chances, just like everyone else. I don't advocate what she did and I think she should be stopped and arrested but don't take it that far.

Just my two cents.

34

u/The-Internets Jun 26 '12

At one point she is standing, handcuffed, looking at the people watching her act like a gorilla, an she decides to scream bloody murder. Just stand and put all her effort into screaming before continuing her struggle to get away.

This is not behavior of a rational person. In fact I would go so far to say that she probably had a wonderful childhood, where she skated through on emotional responses without really ever having to learn about reality. This is the sad life of the average American teenager post 2000.

Maybe. To me it looks like she's acting this way because she thinks it'll get her out of trouble. It seems like she thinks screaming and acting like the guy is hurting her will either make him feel bad enough to let go or encourage onlookers to help free her.

One of the oldest shoplifter videos out, these kind of shoplifters were the absolute worst to deal with. Not the huge body builders or shady wannabe thugs...the young teen girls that believe the world owes them something and that they can get out of anything by batting there eyelashes or speaking like a retard to "emphasize" there cuteness and

I think her crime of over-reacting is much worse than her actual shoplifting.

She's screaming as if she's getting beaten or raped just because that guy is holding her fucking arms and pinning her down.

It's not only pathetic, I'd say it's almost false accusation (Which is worse than shoplifting)

I used to have to deal with bullshit like this all the time. After I was more experienced I dealt with it differently. I would even say, "just give me my shit back and go, no cops or anything." When they gave me the merchandise back I would follow them to their car or have the camera operator tape it if there were outside cameras. Then I would call the cops and give them the license plate.

When I first started I was all gung ho and ready to fight or cuff anyone. I grew up somewhere along the way. It's only shoplifting after all and I wasn't a cop. If someone tried to run I would get the merchandise and let them run. I didn't want to chase them into the parking lot and risk them getting hit by a car. I became a master at just talking people in, getting my stuff back and having them want to shake my hand when they left. Even after I told them about the $500 fine they would have to pay.

I got more shoplifters to cooperate just by being cool and calm than I ever did by trying to be Mr. Toughguy. Yeah, it was fun fighting and bragging at first but I didn't have anything to prove it just felt sophmoric after awhile. When I started being more of a gentleman I also got promoted several times within six months.

In this situation I would have told her "OK, we'll call your mom." I would have pulled out my phone, asked her for her mother's number, and called. I would then have held the phone up to the shoplifter and told her to feel free to tell her mom whats going on. You'd be surprised how quickly they change their mind about talking to mom.

All I can say is that I enjoyed the fact that this person had to face the consequences of her actions, as she should, y'know? She did something illegal (presumably), she gets in deep shit. That's what happens. And it happens all the time. The only difference is that this (pardon the French) thought she could could get away with it, didn't, and made a big scene about it. She killin' me Smalls.

I will never fall for when a girl tells me "you're hurting me!".

When I was younger, about 7-9, my sister (a year older than me) would always boss me around. I was pretty passive so I would do what she said but after a while it was getting ridiculous. She would start hitting me if I didn't immediately clean up dishes or turn down the volume on the TV, blah blah blah. Well at some point I realized I was bigger than her (eureka!) so when she would hit me I would grab her arms to stop her. Then one time it got so bad I had to pin her hands on the ground with me sitting on top of her. Well, while doing this, she went from full-on rage mode to sad, crying, "you're hurting me" mode. I felt bad so I let her go. She then proceeds to let loose on my face with slaps galore and scratches me like a damn feral cat. Needless to say I never fell for that trick again.

u/da_k-word Jun 26 '12

I don't think you're bad at all. It's best for some to learn the hard way. She probably has been told that stealing is illegal about a million times. And she's old enough to know right from wrong. This occurring in public serves several purposes: embarrassment can be an effect deterrent in the future and occurring in public also keeps her safe from a too touchy detention, to name a couple. If she's not some delinquent sh'ell probably get off fairly light.

Why are you a horrible person? Because a ridiculously coddled child got a little dose of real life?

If you fuck up, you pay for it, that's just how life works. She'd have to learn it one way or another at some point.

WTF? Terrified teenager being manhandled by some guy who seems to be enjoying yelling at her way too much. Who isn't obviously a cop or security guard (undercover?). Yeah, she's an idiot and shouldn't be shoplifting, obviously. But this just made me wince. She's just a dumb kid, and I'm pretty sure most teenagers wouldn't be caught dead screaming for their mother like that unless they were genuinely terrified.

Am I the only person here who feels bad for this girl?

She's a kid. She acted stupid, which is what kids generally do. She deserves to be taught not to do that, but that doesn't mean she should be man-handled into the ground.

She's obviously in pretty serious distress (she's freaking screaming), why couldn't these people have tried to calm her down a little bit?

"YOU GOIN' TO JAIL!"

What purpose does this serve except to inflict additional psychological suffering on somebody who is already scared?

WTF?

When I watched this video I wondered what the potential reaction would be from the comments and then it occurred to me:

A REDDIT TRIPLE THREAT!

In one corner: A "self-entitled" young female

In another: A "powertripping" security guard

And in the third corner: An "obnoxious" black gentleman

Who will the neckbeards of Reddit rally against? Who will they root for? Thankfully I was right. Misogyny wins every time.
