I was assulted by a sainsburys store detective?

LouLou

you don't say whether you were innocent or not? that makes a difference to my answer!

webboffin

That is what shoplifters deserve.

You are two faced cry baby when you want legal rights when it is for your you but scoff at the law when it is against someone else you are stealing from to probably buy your smack.

Can't take the punishment then don't do the crime!
You'll find no sympathy here mate.

It's us fed up shoppers that have to pay for that bottle of rum stuffed up your jumper put on the goods we honestly pay.

We'd strangle you too. Tough!

Thank God for that sensible store detective ! We need more of them. Good on him.

NEXT !!!!

fluke

stop shoplifting

dave c

you needed a kick up the arris as well next time we'll chop your grubby hands off.

Aaron

Were you stealing something? I would strangle you also if i caught u stealing.

big stan

If you were shoplifting, they have a right to use force to detain you until the police get there...in most cases they can even handcuff you if needed, so i doubt you have a case if you were caught.

Razzle

Yes but did you put the stolen frozen chicken back?

I'm a Waste Like You!

You mustve been a naughty boy?

Did the bottle of whiskey underneath your coat smash to the ground and cut your leg open?

The police will determine if you were assaulted or if you started the altercation and were subdued. If they determine you were assaulted, charges will be laid.

spartan warrior

well if you were innocent then fight it to the wall. however if your were caught for doing something illegal then you deserve it and believe me if that was me you would have had some undetectable digs in the ribs to go with it .

Kiel v

you have no proof you can do anything but try to be a rebel

JOHN B

Go to Tesco's.

Chief Justice

Why don't you beat the crap out of the store detective ?

Lady Claire of Current Events

Stop shoplifting and then they will stop apprehending you. Its really simple, all you need to do is get a proper job like the rest of us have to do to pay for the necessities in life and then not be a little thief.

He just came up to you and grabbed you??? You did nothing wrong?? Hmmm

simm101

Bit of a problem answering this as i don't know what the police said. Anyway did you get photos of any bruising to your neck? If you did take them and your crime report number to a solicitor.

MANCHESTER UK

A Security Officer working for a store has exactly the same rights as a civilian in the street.
If he/she is instructed by the employer to apprehend anyone stealing from the store, as much force as is reasonably necessary can be used to detain.
You don't say whether you had been detained for stealing from the store but I have to suppose you were so, if you were struggling to get away, the 'force' necessary might be deemed adequate by the Court.
If the Security Staff have reason to believe a criminal offence has been committed, they have the right to detain.
You say you have already made a complaint to the Police so they will interview the person who identified you and or the Security Officer before any further action can be taken.
Leave it at that for now.

tut tut tut have you been a naughty boy!!

Perfectionist

if it wasnt your fault you could get a compensation solicitor and start a claim

vdv_desantnik

complain to sainsburys and get a solicitor

Scarlett

Report them to the store and the police. Also If I was in your position I'd seek legal advice.

Spot

if you were right or wrong,the store detective had no right to strangle you was this assault recorder on CCTV it should have been if not do you have any one that will stand by you who was in the store at the time.

Icarus

No they are not allowed to touch you, well i guess they are but they are opening themselves up for all sorts of legal trouble.

Even if they just touched you on the shoulder that could be construed as assault. If he/she tried to strangle you then that is definately assault.

Enjoy the money ;)

Mr. PhD

What the store rent-a-cop did is a felony. Call the local PD or DA and swear out a complaint. You can also bring a civil suit against the store cop and the store itself. Contact a lawyer.

notyou311

Take him to Small Claims Court. Bring medical bills to prove that you were hurt.

Bill

Go see an attorney who offers a free consultation.

ashton
