How do u all feel about the bill filed in the fl house regarding enhanced penalties for battery on s/o, check out house bill 85. which basically says if on duty a battery on a licensed security officer while on duty would be elevated from a misdemeanor 1st to a felony third.

Sounds like a wonderful proposal. Texas recently passed an upgraded assault law that made an assault on a security officer the same offense as assaulting a police officer. We have seen fewer instances of this happening since then."We appreciate all the hard work you've done, the dedicated hours you have worked, and the lives you have saved. However, since this is your third time being late to work, we are terminating your employment here."

This is the same redef that security officers who work for junior colleges get, btw.Some Kind of Commando Leader

Got a link to FASC? I remember FASO, but I also remember what happened to them.
FALI is the Florida Association of Licensed Investigators. They seem to try to champion the security industry, as PIs are partially governed by the same laws.
I believe this is good news.Some Kind of Commando Leader

Seems fair to me. Security often deals with the same dangerous individuals as LE. At any rate, don't forget that you can always file a PI case. Many police officers do this when they suffer injury at the hands of an offender. Of course, if the bad guy doesn't have any assets, it may be an exercise in futility.Security: Freedom from fear; danger; safe; a feeling of well-being. (Webster's)

"But they're private citizens, why should they be different?"
"This will give security guards common-law authority to detain people who hit them." (Common law authority to detain for felony with personal knowledge, can't get more personal than being hit yourself.)
"Only public employees should have this."
They seem to have forgotten that private security officers providing services to the Junior Colleges of the State are already accorded this redefinition, another instance of the state trying to make private police because the JC's can't afford State University Police.Some Kind of Commando Leader

I think it is a reasonable law but, since we're the only ones who will know about it, .... revenge, after the fact is not very comforting....haha.
Of course, every little bit helps but I would prefer they work on deterents.

and you can only use deadly force to terminate the flight of a forcible felon if no other reasonable option is available.
