As an ex retail security guard. They teach you not to search the bag but to gather evidence and turn it over to the police. Absolute garbage that they have the rights to search
So, the staff can either accuse you of theft, or don't do their job and forget to remove the tag, and that's "it works both ways"? This security guard is incompetent. No other words
Why? Because he doesn't have a brain to think logically? I am amazed that there are still people who think that we need permission to film in public nowsaday hahahahha.
Security guard touches you, spouts a load of nonsense then starts talking about little kids. He comes across as someone who is more likely to be arrested than make arrests 😂
32 Years in this industry and I have never felt so amazed that Officers can be deployed into public facing roles with such a lack of basic security knowledge. Sincerely hope he never comes to see me about a job.
Slight correction. They know exactly when closing time is. About 5 minutes before they shut, try asking for advice about a pair of football boots for your child.
That security guard is a wannabe police officer for sure. I can Make citizens arrests. What an actual knob. Someone is just deluded and a high on power. You can only make citizens arrest if you're 100% certain a crime has been committed. And you also need to State which point of law exactly you're making a citizen's arrest for. If the person is not convicted of the same law you stated when making the citizens arrest. Is fundamentally unlawful. People think citizens arrest law is simple. It is not and 90% of citizens arrests are unlawful. I have no doubt he'll be applying to the police academy soon. Probably result in litigation on the first day of employment. Well done for exposing this. When I was 16 I went to a theme park. With two friends my one friend had a grinder on her. Nothing in it and nothing else on her. The security guard refused to let all three of us leave said we were all detained until police arrived. None of us could leave and accused us all of being drug dealers. They said they had the right to search me and my two friends despite them both being girls and both search by men. We explained to the security guard grinders aren't illegal. They just left and said shut up drug dealer. Police arrived, confiscated the grinder and went on their way. However, because they were bitter they won't let us into the park and said we breached the terms and conditions of bringing contraband items in. Subsequently took legal action and got a great deal of money. Ironically, got a lot of free tickets to other resorts owned by the same company. As much as the security guard may think they're untouchable. They are not. Great video. Very different to your usual content so quite refreshing to see. 😂😂😂❤
I feel sorry for that security guard. He got so much wrong and is so terrified of being made to look bad that he felt the need to try to dominate the situation, and just made himself look like a dumbass.
The numpty who trained the Sports Direct (Frazers Group) staff is a man called Darren Conway, who now runs the company that employs the security officer, Lodge Security
He is in the wrong job 🤷🏻♂️ security can technically do a citizen arrest as long as they are 100% sure a theft has occurred BUT security need consent to search the bag, they have no power to search a bag using force.
The Police and CPS usually hate anyone doing a Citizen's Arrest because there are parts of the law that are so vague, ie what is reasonable force. It has meant that several prosecutions when a Citizen's Arrest was used have been dismissed. The official advice from the SIA themselves is to observe and report.

They're not allowed to search; they have to hold you until the police arrive. If they hold you and the police come, search and find nothing on you, then you can charge them with false imprisonment.
@@JohnUnderwood-yz2xu I see. In Australia, the police are called regardless the price of the items and it's up to the discretion of the business. They're still not allowed to search you though.

This gives some of the staff a massive, big head, some staff really don't care.
In the UK, store staff can detain someone if they reasonably suspect shoplifting, but they cannot search them. If the alarm goes off when someone exits, staff can: 1.

Yes, a Security Guard can search you and your possessions. The 'BUT' though, is that they can only do so with your consent. That security guy is a total moron!
I walked out of Tesco a while ago and the alarm went off, a security guard stood in front of me and said he needs to see in my bag, I said you absolutely don't and stepped around him and carried on walking, they have no powers of detention or search. After i've paid and walked past the tils, it's my property. I researched all this a while ago, it didn't take long to find the information, and i'm not even a security guard, how can an entire staff of security be so completely ignorant of the law?

@@nocommentukthey cannot search but they can arrest and wait for the police to search them. As long as they have a good reason to suspect that somebody has committed an offence and is likely to leave before a constable can intervene. It’s in the police and criminal evidence act, section 24A.
@Heyok-vx7yf not according to Google. Its stated that the person making the citizens arrest needs to have reasonable grounds to suspect an indictable offence has taken place. They do not need to have witnessed the crime
100% they are NOT legally allowed to search anyone without their consent. All they are allowed to do is if they suspect you're shoplifting is hold you there until the police arrive who are the only people who have the 'power' to search. SPORTS DIRECT staff are misinformed.

The security tag door alarms DO NOT give a shop the power to search you, its only there to indicate to them that a tag has possibly left the store and nothing more.
@@RMcL328 Theft is an indictable offence so under section 24a of PACE they can arrest you until police arrive, using reasonable force too under section 3 of the criminal law act.
@@GeorgeMurrayMuirhead Nope, PACE 1984 S1 allows them to search for stolen items, _if_ they have reasonable grounds for believing they'll find them. As AB and others have demonstrated, they regularly abuse that power by having no such grounds.
That security guy never learned how to listen and respond accordingly. It's baffling how many people are employed in positions where they are ignorant of the laws and rules.
@MFletch87 AB is correct. You have to have reasonable grounds to detain someone at the store, but neither the staff nor the security have the right to search a bag. They must call the police. That is the point he is making. Without witnessing the person placing the items in their bag, they do not have reasonable grounds. It’s the law, it’s quite straightforward.

I walked out of Tesco a while ago and the alarm went off, a security guard stood in front of me and said he needs to see in my bag, I said you absolutely don't and stepped around him and carried on walking, they have no powers of detention or search. After i've paid and walked past the tils, it's my property.
I researched all this a while ago, it didn't take long to find the information, and i'm not even a security guard, how can an entire staff of security be so completely ignorant of the law?
@MFletch87 They said they paid, so how would they be a shoplifter?
@MFletch87 Again, you are assuming things. They need to prove it, onus is on them, but not by abusing your rights and the law.
Stop the paranoia fella its destructive @MFletch87
@MFletch87 If you dont stop you escalate the situation and thats when they get the police involved as they will then assume you are guilty so you might as well just do what lotusman said he did.
Lotus Man is correct, after you pay the item is yours. Walmart checks anything not bagged and you can walk away and tell them to F off.
They already knew he’d paid before they searched him. Absolutely no grounds. Disgusting.
Even if they knew 100% that he had stolen from them, they still couldn’t search him without his consent.
They seemed really worried about the tag it seemed to be an exploding ink tag...
Sports direct really need to be more careful. They don't have a clue.
@@nocommentukthey cannot search but they can arrest and wait for the police to search them. As long as they have a good reason to suspect that somebody has committed an offence and is likely to leave before a constable can intervene.
It’s in the police and criminal evidence act, section 24A.
Omg the tag was on the socks ! The store assistant explained that when he asked the guy if he could check that’s why the gentleman agreed ! Honestly
Need people to go to this Coventry sports direct
What a lot of rubbish that security guard was speaking, and he actually believes the crap he's spouting
@@gerry77mckee18 neither of the first were even security. That's the worst part.
A perfect little copper tyrant in the making
She cannot detain you even under a citizens arrest if it is not an indictable offence.
Bingo!
Shoplifting carries a maximum of 6 months in prison which makes it an indictable offence
@Heyok-vx7yf not according to Google. Its stated that the person making the citizens arrest needs to have reasonable grounds to suspect an indictable offence has taken place. They do not need to have witnessed the crime
This was one of the best ones, Highlights a massive lack of understanding in the UK
Wow, no powers to detain or to search. When she said she would pull someone back that would be assault, those staff are a liability!
Need people to go to this Coventry sports direct
Their bosses have told them they can do it. Knowing full well they legally can’t. It’s not their head on the block.
100% they are NOT legally allowed to search anyone without their consent. All they are allowed to do is if they suspect you're shoplifting is hold you there until the police arrive who are the only people who have the 'power' to search. SPORTS DIRECT staff are misinformed. And that security guards is as thick as two short planks stuck together with stupid glue !
The security tag door alarms DO NOT give a shop the power to search you, its only there to indicate to them that a tag has possibly left the store and nothing more.
They can’t “hold” anyone either
@@RMcL328 Theft is an indictable offence so under section 24a of PACE they can arrest you until police arrive, using reasonable force too under section 3 of the criminal law act.
You have it.
Security guard is a bell end who loves his own voice
That security man speaks for much you’d think he was vaccinated with a phonograph needle!
Groucho Marx. Duck Soup. 1933.
They can't stop you. A security guard has no more authority than anyone else! They have no powers of arrest or search!
You Can’t Reason With STUPID..only the Police can Search YOU…
Only if they arrest you they can search you
@@GeorgeMurrayMuirheadi know Hello’s 👋👋👋🤡
@@GeorgeMurrayMuirhead Nope, PACE 1984 S1 allows them to search for stolen items, _if_ they have reasonable grounds for believing they'll find them. As AB and others have demonstrated, they regularly abuse that power by having no such grounds.
@@rogerborg what i AM SAYING IS THE POLICE…HELLO 👋👋👋🤡
@@GeorgeMurrayMuirhead if you watch AB videos you know he is searched at times without being arrested
That security guard was full of crap!
give these fools a small amount of power and they think they can make their own laws
😂😂😂😂
Security has no right to search, without warrant!
Love the confidence of the ignorant when they're spouting absolute nonsense.
she needs reporting and give us an update
People can refuse their request to search, THAT is what these goons don't seem to understand.
And they will always continue to tell the same lies.
Security Guard is sooo annoying 😂
Also something that the public doesn't understand. Everyone thinks security can do anything
@@BUSHCRAPPING Sadly, that is also true. They don't teach "law" in regular school to keep us in the dark about our rights.
@@gregkasza1925 because they think they are right lol
OMG. This woman is a liability.
For trying to stop shoplifters?
@@Bobario1 For not comprehending the bounds of her (non) authority.
And now.......she's famous for being a liability 😂
@@Bobario1 No, for illegally searching people when she has zero legal right to do so.
@@rogerborg She needs more authority to challenge the shoplifters. So do the security guards.
I feel for these staff being asked to be security as well as cashiers and shelf stackers. One day they will stop the wrong person.
That security guy never learned how to listen and respond accordingly. It's baffling how many people are employed in positions where they are ignorant of the laws and rules.
Sports Direct would certainly not search me, alarms or not. What total idiots that they believe they can
So what d'you keep in your bag that you don't want anyone to see?
@@sirbarnabyst.johntoffingto9017 It’s not about that it’s about your rights and them infringing on your rights. Catch up.
@@sirbarnabyst.johntoffingto9017 You're missing the point
@MFletch87 AB is correct. You have to have reasonable grounds to detain someone at the store, but neither the staff nor the security have the right to search a bag. They must call the police. That is the point he is making. Without witnessing the person placing the items in their bag, they do not have reasonable grounds. It’s the law, it’s quite straightforward.
@MFletch87 AB doesn’t hide comments, it’s RUclips’s auto moderation which flags certain comments for review by the channel owner.
The security guard is on £11 an hour with a law degree ,not a clue and the staff my god idiots
How thick is that security guard.
Thick in the head. Thick round the belly.l
How long is a piece of string
which one?? They all special
Man is a lawyer and yet works at Sport Direct. Never understand why they dont go where the money is
🤣🤣
That security guard looks like a poor version of Post malone
"Enjoy the rest of your day boy" has clearly never been punched in the mouth before.
Oh I bet he has, no way has he got to that age without a slap 😂
😂😂😂
You're mum has
@@stepheng8779 😂😂
Part of retail work
Security guard is a SAUSAGE!!!! Not a clue
He called SD staff security, what a tosser 😂
Security full of his own self importance. Thick as two short planks!
What you do is you carry a spare bag with dog poo 💩 to let them search if they unjustly ask to search your bag
This is absolutely shocking!!
Never argue with stupid people
The ignorance of these guys is unbelievable. SIA is seriously out of date.
Did you see the reports of people buying their SIA licence.
It's as big if a scam as the post office claiming the computer system was fit for purpose.
😊😊😊😊😊😊
it serves No Purpose, But takes our money
@@alanbaxter8100 exactly right. The old SITO training was much better, far more comprehensive and also paid for by the employer.
they need a huge fine for this
Should get clarification from the higher-ups at Sports Direct and let them know their security guards are misinformed.
You think they will care? Sports direct?
Can't believe that security guard bothered to come over: usually he's idling around Auntie Anne's Pretzels not doing much 😂
Oh my days. How many times he said “it works both ways” when it actually doesn’t, what absolute idiots.
Stupidest expression ever.... 'oh my days'
@original.dwornboy never got the concept of " oh my days"? or the meaning!
@@glenmorgan4597Try google
England is such a horrible society
Shit society indeed.
Yes because sheeple keeps voting in Labour or Tory.
Vote reform@@steve-en7bm
Well, you could always p*ss off to Spain.
Well if you don't like it, change it
the sheer arrogance and over-inflated egos on display here by sports direct staff is off the chart.
The alarms alerting to theft has nothing to do with being able to grab people lmao, the alarms help deter theft, and also alert staff that something may have been stolen and to check CCTV and make a report.
I'm proud to say not only have I never stepped foot in a Sports Direct, but after this I never will either.
Why's that? Cos you might get searched if you steal a tracksuit and the alarm goes off?
@@sirbarnabyst.johntoffingto9017 No to tell you the truth I've never worn a tracksuit in my life. Also as an older punk type person, their clothing is really not my style.
Guy with the blue lanyard has the iq of a garden gnome
What a wonderful advert for this company 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@sirbarnabyst.johntoffingto9017 Are you on the owners dating list?
Citizens sticking up for other citizens, what a unique concept..
Even if they're possibly shoplifting?
@sirbarnabyst.johntoffingto9017 Yep. Rights are rights, laws are laws.
What an embarrassing statement.shoplifting should not be promoted unfortunately this video seems to give power to shoplifter.
@@sirbarnabyst.johntoffingto9017 How do I know that you're not shoplifting right now? Prove your innocence.
@@sirbarnabyst.johntoffingto9017correct. Only when they are sure something has been stolen. I don’t to live in a place where I can be searched just because someone WANTS me searched.
She said they don't have security. Then said she will get security for you?
Lol what was that about?
Don’t have a shop security they have the overall town centre security
Absolutely DELUSIONAL thinking they have the right to search 😂 and THAT is why they're working in Sports Direct 🤡
It will change the way you do things once this has been reported to the relevant authority and USC HQs. This is serious. Private Sector needs re- training.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
The two people inside the store need to go away and never come back and they should be forbidden from working face to face with customers.
No use trying to talk to a piece of wood
these staff and "security" are absolute plonkers
Security mafia. Good vid.
Frustrated copper or what and a gob on a stick. Imagine when his boyfriend doesn’t do what he wants😂
Looks like the employee's are as arrogant as the owner of the company.
@@user-fu2zh3vb2q he has shares in mars bars. The amount he must eat I'm surprised there's any left
What a dope, they can't search any bag without the bagholders permission.
''Everyone else does it so its okay''
thats whats wrong with this country.
everyone having this dangerous mindset.
I used to get told off by my late Dad for saying "my brother did it too and you didn't tell him off" - made me smile.
You can tell that security guard still lives with his mum and has never had a relationship.
Lmao I found out that he cut the part where the customer told the staff that they can check his bag to untag the socks lmao he also cut the part where he told the young chap that he will push him down the stairs
