The advice is, if you are truly innocenct and get accosted, hope you get manhandled as much as possible, even better if you get detained in a room (unlawful imprisonment), look at the clock, smile and think of the big cheque awaiting after your successful lawsuit, the entertainment value when the police arrive and cant do anything but release you will be priceless too, even better if they also screw up - your compo has probably quadrupled itself

I'll second that.

Recognise the moment they go wrong and if the are foolish enough to dig themselves deeper, get the claim in - it's almost MSE friendly:D

This thread reminded me of a time I was shopping in Tesco, I had just got my trolley and a security guard ran out and stopped a nerdy looking guy. The SG took the guys bag and brought out some cheese and said you didn't pay for this, the guy showed the SG his receipt and it showed that he had paid for the cheese. The poor guy was so embarrassed he just walked off without saying anything and the SG never even apologised, I felt angry for the guy and said to the SG if you had done that to me I would have floored you :rotfl:

I am sorry, but I think you don't have a leg to stand on and they were in their rights to detain you.

You do realise this thread is from December 2009?

That's very helpful 8 months later...

Yes, when it's pointless.

Because they don't pay attention

I'm glad someone did drag up this old thread as I missed it first time round.

Several comments, including this one:

Maybe the tesco manager had a metal plate in his / her knee and they did not actually kick the OP but the magnet attracted the knee
