security guards don't have the same legal rights as a police officer they can arrest people but the police have to deal with them.
they can stop shoplifters and detain them,a security officer cant pull you over on a main road but on a private industrial park if your trespassing and he is guarding it he can but the police would be called to deal with it

If they are off duty Officers, then YES, they do. Many have second jobs as security guards. They are required to call for backup if they cannot produce a valid Law Enforcement ID. You don't have to stop OR speak to them until a uniform officer arrives at the scene! Edit: If you are in a private, gated community, then it is a different story altogether & they can pull you over while you are within their gates.

A Security Guard, if he/she is allowed to carry a gun. Is only allowed 1 bullet, and it must be kept in the buttoned right front pocket. Additionally, He/She must answer to the name of Barney. They can only attempt to detain you on private property that they provide service for i.e a gated community. Until the real police arrive

If the security guard is hired to patrol a neighborhood or an area - Yes he has the right to pull you over within his patrol area.

risk-free practices guards basically have a similar criminal authority as the different inner maximum citizen. they might basically carry out a citizen's arrest on somebody for a criminal, or for a misdemeanor that comprises a "breach of the peace" (theft, attack, etc.), yet they might desire to be a hundred% particular of their accusation or they might face quotes of fake imprisonment besides as civil repercussions. As a lifelike rely, the ordinary public of risk-free practices officers won't bodily restrain each and every person till somebody is being harm, and are normally recommended to basically word and document what's occurring and get in touch with the police if issues get severe. unlike a cop, nonetheless, a private risk-free practices look after does no longer choose possibly reason or a warrant to look by using your man or woman assets jointly as on the valuables. i've got heard of a few circumstances the place a glance after might rifle by using somebody's handbag or bookbag with none reason or permission, and if he chanced on something unlawful it would nevertheless delay in courtroom.

Depends on if it is a closed or gated community. But for the most parts, no they do not have the same ability. If it is an open street, I don't think that they have any legal rights.

A security guard has no power to pull over a motorist for a violation. His duty is only to ease traffic but not enforcement of traffic rules.
