Can a Security Guard Make an Arrest?
Yes.
Many states permit security guards to make arrests.
Many rent-a-cops are also off duty cops out there to pick up an extra dollar.
In the United States, by some accounts, there are now three private security guards for every one police officer.
It is best to treat a rent-a- cop with the same concern as a police officer. But it gets worse.
Rent-a-cops are not real cops, so you don't have constitutional rights if they violate your rights. That's a wow.
If a security guard tells you to stop: Stop. Do not speak or explain. You do not have any constitutional protections with a rent-a-cop.
Demand he release you or call a police officer. Be smart….. be safe….. be silent.

My experience with Mr. Behr and his staff was nothing short of phenomenal. I hope to not ever need representation again. But In the case I do. J would absolutely use Mr. Behr. I would also fully recommend him to anyone I know in need of representation. Jeff

When I travel throughout the world for business I can honestly say that I feel extremely comfortable knowing I can pick up the phone for guidance and know Mr. Behr will consistently have my back with a positive answer on the other end. I attribute my success with my business by having this honorable man on my team. Thomas

He filed motion after motion until the judge finally dismissed my case. He even took it to another judge. The guy never stopped and let nothing stop him. He was all over the prosecutor and knew more law than the judge, it was super cool to watch the man work. He is the best lawyer in the county. Jose
