Going back to the reasonable suspicion, wouldn't that simply come down to an SG seeing someone hide an item about their person or in a bag other than a shopping basket or trolley, either with their own eyes or more likely on the store CCTV? I don't think any other suspicion could be reasonable.

However - if he genuinely thought we had been stealing. Why not simply say 'excuse me, can you wait here the Police are on the way as I believe you have been shoplifting'? Rather than show me your receipt and other such stuff. If his level of suspicion was not great enough to call the police is it really great enough to arrest/detain? I don't know the answer to that. Which is why I ask.
You really have to ask that? You really have to question why he should, in preference, say ‘excuse me while I call the police’..? However - if he genuinely thought we had been stealing. Why not simply say 'excuse me, can you wait here the Police are on the way as I believe you have been shoplifting'? Rather than show me your receipt and other such stuff.

This is the alternative reality that a lot of posters on PH live in (or pretend to live in). See any threads involving Brexit or Farage for copious examples!Scabutz said:
Have I Got News For You showed a clip of the Queen at Sainsburys being shown the self serve tills. Her 1st comment in seeing them was "cant you cheat them?".
Madge knows, she would get a receipt, would probably still lamp the security guard though.
She wouldn't drop so low as to use a pot or pan like the OP attempted though - she'd just use her handbag Madge knows, she would get a receipt, would probably still lamp the security guard though.
If they make it to the car park, like the OP did, i guess Philip could run the SG over

Besides which, before any security guard got anywhere near the Queen, if he's lucky, a member of her security detail would grab him and stop him, and if they weren't lucky, they'd have a red dot on them, and be dropped by a high velocity round a split second later!

Indeed the queen is immune from UK criminal prosecution as you cannot have Regina vs Regina.
Not immune from the UN, etc though shoplifting is unlikely to fit with War Crimes et al.
Elizabeth Mountbatten Windsor, you are hearby charged with scanning a packet of Ferrero Rocher as a cooking onion at the Sainsburys (other supermarkets are available) self service tills.Not immune from the UN, etc though shoplifting is unlikely to fit with War Crimes et al.

Wasn’t that the basis of dropping the case against Paul Burrel too as they couldn’t (and obviously wouldn’t) call Her Majesty as a witness... or along those lines. Not immune from the UN, etc though shoplifting is unlikely to fit with War Crimes et al.
