Re: X-Post: Man arrested for not showing officer his License
[ QUOTE ]
Are you saying they're unable to do this in jurisdictions where shoplifting is just a misdemeanor? Are you saying that if I blatantly walk out of a shop with a CD, the security guards have no power to detain me?

Not saying that. They may have some power granted under another statute that applies to merchants and the security of their stores. But, the security guard is not justified under the jurisdiction's citizen arrest statutes if it only allows for felonies.
