I live in a large group of apartment complexes in NE Dallas we have these guys all over the place. My friends and I use to stand out on my balcony and make fun of them as they drove by, when I first moved in. One night at 3am I got a knock on my door. I answered and it was a security officer. They had caught two guys that had broken in to my car and true to remove the radio. They told me that they had called the cops and I would have to talk to the cops since it was my car. Two hours later the real police finally showed up and took the real criminals off to jail. Three months later my girlfriend was coming home after her late night shift at an area restaurant. She pulled up in the parking lot and was approached by a man with a gun. He pointed it at her and demanded her purse and car keys. She was giving it to him when security saw him. He ran. They chased him down on foot and placed him under arrest. Again we waited two hours for the real cops to show. And again they took a real bad guy to jail. These guys saved my car and the love of my life. We are now married and have beautiful children. I don't know about the guys the ppl on this blog are putting down but the security officers in the Village apartments will always have my sincere respect and admiration. Those are real hero in every since of the word! I don't know what they make but its not enough!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-73774514106924533452011-08-04T12:17:16.027-05:002011-08-04T12:17:16.027-05:00Trust me, security guards absolutely CAN search yo...Trust me, security guards absolutely CAN search you without probable, or any kind of cause...i have a lovely felony record to prove it!<br /> <br />Have you ever noticed that when you go to a sporting event or a concert that a security guard or an employee of the venue searches you, your purse, your backpack, your cooler, etc and scans you with the hand held metal detector or mans the large doorway type ones while all of the "real" cops are lined up behind them chatting and holding up the walls? Its no accident...its very much intentional and basically a way to circumvent search and seizure laws. Private citizens do not have to have your consent to search you or your belongings nor do they need probable cause...and anything they find and turn over to the police CAN and WILL be used as evidence against you in criminal court.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-52998997963259366242011-06-10T16:25:02.235-05:002011-06-10T16:25:02.235-05:00hi dear ,

It needs to be addressed and in fact there was legislation introduced but failed this year that would have made it a bit clearer with respect to vehicles.<br /><br />There are a couple of things wrong with the responses I have read and I am not taking sides, but if you are going to write it, you should be sure of what you are writing. I know a few posts have tried to explain some of this but I will try to consolidate it.<br /><br /><br />1. The examples you gave of expired employees is bad, all companies listed with DPS have employees listed who are expired and most likely they are not employees anymore so to make the claim is not accurate unless you have information that all those people are still employed with the company. DPS does not remove employees from the list of any company.<br /><br /><br />2. A security guard does have arrest authority, just as much as any private citizen does. Here is the code - CHAPTER 14. ARREST WITHOUT WARRANT Art. 14.01. OFFENSE WITHIN VIEW. (a) A peace officer or any other person, may, without a warrant, arrest an offender when the offense is committed in his presence or within his view, if the offense is one classed as a felony or as an offense against the public peace. Here is the link - http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/DocViewer.aspx?K2DocKey=odbc%3a%2f%2fTCAS%2fASUPUBLIC.dbo.vwTCAS%2fCR%2fS%2fCR.14%40TCAS2&QueryText=within%3cOR%3eview&HighlightType=1<br /><br /><br />3. As for the 4th amendment, the fact is, that it can only be violated by an actor of the state, IE: Law Enforcement of some sort, including jailers, bailiffs and court authorities.<br /><br /> <br />4. Security guards do have the right to stop and question anyone on any private property they are contracted to do so on as an agent of the owner they are given the same authority over the property as the owner, who has the right to require you submit to a search and identification for the purpose of determining your reason for being on the property, even if you live there. The police call it a (Super Power) that as an Actor of the State (Law Enforcement) do not have the right to do unless they have probable cause.<br /><br /><br />5. Detention and Arrest are the same thing. Security guards operate under the notion that if they ask you for ID and you refuse they will ask you to leave the property, if you do not or you refuse to leave they can call the police to come determine your purpose and right to be on the property. Since the police have been called to the property, they now have probable cause to detain, arrest and search you if they are so inclined. <br /> <br />My recommendation is if you live or work some place where there are security officers working and you have a reason and purpose for being on the property, just cooperate and tell them who you are and why you are there. Or walk away and leave!<br /><br /> If you are causing a disturbance, assaulting someone, stealing property especially at night, you are a danger to me, yourself or others, anyone can arrest you.<br /><br /> Educate yourself you might find yourself in a situation where you think you know what you are doing and end up taking that proverbial "ride" because a security guard arrested you or the police were called and they arrest you for disturbing the peace. And if you have been drinking, be aware Public Intoxication is listed and an offense classified as disturbing the peace.<br /><br /> I appreciate the writer of the blog as he has some good points about how some security companies behave, my experience is that DPS is actively perusing and prosecuting companies that are operating outside the law.

DPS does not remove employees from the list of any complany.<br /><br />2. A security guard does have arrest authority, just as much as any private citizen does. Here is the code - CHAPTER 14. ARREST WITHOUT WARRANT Art. 14.01. OFFENSE WITHIN VIEW. (a) A peace officer or any other person, may, without a warrant, arrest an offender when the offense is committed in his presence or within his view, if the offense is one classed as a felony or as an offense against the public peace. Here is the link - http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/DocViewer.aspx?K2DocKey=odbc%3a%2f%2fTCAS%2fASUPUBLIC.dbo.vwTCAS%2fCR%2fS%2fCR.14%40TCAS2&QueryText=within%3cOR%3eview&HighlightType=1<br /><br />3. As for the 4th amendment, the fact is, that it can only be violated by an actor of the state, IE: Law Enforcement of some sort, including jailers, bailiffs and court authorities.<br /><br />4. Security guards do have the right to stop and question anyone on any private property they are contracted to do so on as an agent of the owner they are given the same authority over the property as the owner, who has the right to require you submit to a search and identification for the purpose of determining your reason for being on the property, even if you live there. The police call it a (Super Power) that as an Actor of the State (Law Enforcement) do not have the right to do unless they have probable cause.<br /><br />5. Detention and Arrest are the same thing. Security guards operate under the notion that if they ask you for ID and you refuse they will ask you to leave the property, if you do not or you refuse to leave they can call the police to come determine your purpose and right to be on the property. Since the police have been called to the property, they now have probable cause to detain, arrest and search you if they are so inclined. <br /><br />My recommendation is if you live or work some place where there are security officers working and you have a reason and purpose for being on the property, just cooperate and tell them who you are and why you are there. Or walk away and leave.<br /><br />If you are causing a disturbance, assaulting someone, stealing property especially at night, you are a danger to me, yourself or others, anyone can arrest you.<br /><br />Like I said not picking sides here but if you are going to make such accusatory and opinionated comments you should know what you are talking about an do a bit more research. <br /><br />All of you who are piling on, the same goes for you. Educate yourself or don't just be aware you might find yourself in a situation where you think you know what you are doing and end up taking that proverbial ride because a security guard arrested you or the police were called and they arrest you for disturbing the peace. And if you have been drinking, be aware Public Intoxication is listed and an offence classified as disturbing the peace.<br /><br /><br />The writer of the blog has some good points about how some security companies behave, my experience is that DPS is actively perusing and prosecuting companies that are operating outside the law. You can see the stats on that at this link.<br /><br />http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/psb/quarterly_report_first_2010_2011.pdf<br /><br />Keep up the watch doging, just be sure to get your info checked out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-15955943917834033632011-06-06T07:59:49.826-05:002011-06-06T07:59:49.826-05:00Unqualified wanna-be's have been working as pr...Unqualified wanna-be's have been working as private prison guards for decades. It is just as outrageous to permit CCA or GEO to supervise the restriction of inmates' Constitutional rights as it is to permit a private force police powers. Trouble is, nobody cares until it affects them. Alas, what's good for the goose...<br /><br />-Jeff Doyle<br /><a href="http://www.pacovilla.com" rel="nofollow">PacoVilla Corrections blog</a>PacoVillahttp:www.pacovilla.comnoreply@blogger.com
