Its dangerous to allow those guys to play copper in the shops. Dangerous for them and the shoplifter (not condoning petty theft but at the point the store detective gets them, they are not officially guilty or under arrest)

It was an interesting programme though, especially the dodgy logic used by the perps to justify their wrongdoing!

Think the only one on this programme that would be anywhere near this would be the 7 foot tall coloured guy !! would have certainly not fancied being tackled by him !! again they do a good job and as we seen not the most pleasant off folk they have to deal with but just felt they kinda enjoyed there job a bit too much !!

Yeah I felt that but no more than those smug cops who harass some kid driving his beaten up old banger who can't afford two grand for insurance.

I did think the store guy who said he would collar his mum if he saw her lifting was a bit OTT.

No sympathy with the "professional" shoplifters though
