    Sometimes the guards would take 30mins+ to arrive so we would trail the shoplifter/s around town as they went into other shops and so on.

Until recently the 1585 Statute of Frauds was still the law of the land for buying and selling land

    Larcency Act is no longer used.

    Theft is covered by the Criminal Justice ( Theft and Fraud Offences ) Act of 2001.

    Oh and stealing a mars bar is an arrestable offence, the same as stealing 1,000,000 mars bars would be. You can be detained by security until the arrival of the boyz in blue.

    That sounds like a cool job... reminds me of that film Casino.
    They didn't give you a cattle prod to covertly 'remove' people did they? :D

    Ah I'm probably not remembering it right - it was a couple of years ago and I'm not employed in that line of work any more.

    Incidentally, the 2001 Act didn't repeal the 1916 Act. The 1916 Act had long ssince been repealed by the 1964 LarcenyAct.

    I just came across that and thought it was useful for the sake of accuracy.[/pedant]

    They are allowed to hold, lift and pull, they are not allowed to strike. They are allowed to twist (ankle/wrist) only after someone tried to resist.

    You mean the Statute of Frauds 1695? When was it repealed?
