So what gives them the right to do this? I can maybe understand if a drunk is out of control and beating the *beep* out of people then slap the cuffs on until the real police get there. But they put them on an actual full throttle employee because he stole a cheeseburger and a few bottles of water?
shareThe script gives them the right to do it.......
"My new policy..you don't agree with what I say.. GFY and welcome to my Ignore List"
Exactly. All the so-called "take-downs" were faked. If they showed their faces, they were paid for their time. If their faces were blurred, they didn't accept any of the conditions of being on the show and were not compensated.
shareThe show can easily get around that by simply posting signs stating a show is filming and by entering the premises they agree to be filmed. Or it could also be on the ticket as they enter. I see it all the time here in California. Once you "agree" you cant pick and choose what's filmed according to your actions.
We used to make sh-t in this country. Build sh-t. Now we put our hands in the next guys pocket.
It doesn't matter what it was. Theft is theft. As far a cuffing goes, he was being detained for the police. It wasn't until later that they just let him go

Go to a local store and "steal just a few drinks and hamburgers" and see how fast you end up inside their security office in handcuffs waiting for the cops to come. This show has a ton of scripted elements but I don't think this was it.
shareNext time you seen this crap on TV, try to spot when someone gets "arrested" - notice if his or her face is blurred. If it's not, they got paid. If it's blurred, they didn't agree to truTV's agreements and weren't compensated, meaning that Michael and Angie didn't have to pay them a penny for their appearance. BTW, it doesn't matter what it says on any tickets, when you're drunk and stupid all that fine-print goes down the toilet with the rest of your booze - especially when you're dealing with hundreds of idiots per night.
shareIt depends and happens a lot less than shown on this program. In most if not all states, when a person has committed a breach of the peace, felony, or is considered to be a reasonable danger to others in the security guards opinion, they have the legal right to arrest the person. It is usually not a special right either, it's granted to every other citizen in the state too.
Whoever is effecting a "citizens arrest" has to be pretty sure an offense was committed. If they are later judged to have cuffed someone who didn't fall into the states statutes and laws, they could themselves be slapped into cuffs for unlawful restraint, if the person restrained is a minor it's a felony offense if proved.
I, like those in previous comments in this thread, have no doubt that the detainment/cuffing etc. by security was staged or elaborated to make for interesting television.
Happiness is a belt-fed weapon.
The fact that it's private property, and not public property has more to do with it than paid or unpaid.
