*UPDATE 7 June 2021 Staff are ashamed of their actions*
This video got deleted from YouTube due to legal claim! I have challenged the legal claim to test out the new YouTube rules. This video got removed by loosing the legal challenge, I have therefore re-upload here un-censored and un-blurred as I believe this should be a public record of events which involve police, members of the public and security for highlighting not only the matters of concern, but also for sociological reasons and research...
*End of Update*
Some may call it an Audit, I would call it a professional sham caught on camera!
Meadowhall & South Yorkshire Police have an on-site police station at the centre, working alongside their security team. Here is their info page https://www.meadowhall.co.uk/faqs/there-police-meadowhall
Security in Meadowhall are used to getting hands on with people! The day was an unusual day that appeared to get a little bit out of hand over something of nothing while Meadowhall security doing what they seem to do best, while at the same time, failing to display their SIA Licences while working with members of the public, tantamount clearly in breach of the Private Security Industry Act 2001, Sct 9 (1)(c) complimented by the Private Security Industry Act 2001, Sct 9 (4)
This is a public space on private property, the police should not have been the first point of interaction unless it was an unlawful matter due to this being private property with public space and access for the public in a civil manner. It is the job for security to deal with trespassing, not the police. Unfortunately, security acted a little bit too hastily at the beginning and I do believe if the SIA Operatives would have been the first interaction, then the police would not have been left open to being deemed acting with a lack of impartiality while at the same time getting in deeper water than they first thought they could swim in!
Breach of the peace and public order offences only appeared to become stated, when the police could not deal with the initial civil matter that first presented itself. Duly noted, this was a civil matter even when the security eventually arrived second on scene. The police could have remained impartial and observed watching both security and members of the public for any unlawful activity, but instead appeared to add to a problem that did not appear to exist before the police arrived on scene...
My observation of the first interaction left me wondering why the police grabbed one arm while the security grabbed the other from behind when there was enough security to deal with the trespassing as it unfolded without the need for police interaction at this stage as it was also deemed a civil matter at this point. Therefore, police acted out the role of the security instead of leaving it to the other security operatives to assist their colleagues.
It was identified by myself that no law had been broken at this point or the police officer would have arrested instead of escorted off the premises for the civil matter in hand at that point in time.
