What are the rights of security guards outside of licensed premises?
If a security guard believes you stole a bottle of liqour when you had legitimately purchased it and tries to take it off you by crash tackling you from behind and when you resist you are charged with common assault.
I had been at the venue and when I was leaving i got a bottle of liqour out of my backpack that I purchased earlier at BWS. I had left the premises when security guard crash tackled me. The venue later admitted they did not stock that item behind bar and I did not steal it.
Police did not charge security guard despite my request.
