It would be a police matter if there was reasonable suspicion of an offence being committed. None of the above counts as an offence. The outstanding question is, what did security tell the police was going down in order to get them involved?
That is the question and one must assume that the police where told something that led them to believe a offence was being committed or they would have just told the staff that it was a civil matter .We live in a suspicious world Chris ,mostly of our own making and we really shouldn't whinge when the fruits of our own suspicion and paranoia bite us up the jacksy.
I am happy it all turned out ok ,i am happy that Mr White didn't turn out to be peodo,child abductor or terrorist and i am happy that the shopping center has changed it's policy on cameras to something approaching normality and i love the way the center has they will "apologise properly" ,is that a typo and do they mean formerly ?
