Wpsark, sadly they do have arrest authority off duty as well, as long as they are within LR or working eith znother agency elsewhere. I personally think it is wrong for them to be able to work as Security in the uniform paid for by our taxes, using equipment paid for by our taxes and driving a car paid for by our taxed which burns gas paid for by our taxes, while they push the poor Security people out of a job at the same time so they can't pay taxes and we have less revenue, all so they can have EXTRA money and someone else gets none. Wrong, wrong, wrong, but it's not going to change because this is a police state and the police control everything.

Getting hard to tell the difference between the cops and the criminals. Except if you have a badge the most you usually get is suspended with pay.

that cop had no authority to try to arrest that man in the first place. He was on PRIVATE security duty..On his own time, working for a private entity...Throw that POS under that jail.
