Andrews International Guards Park Illegally to Shop, Hide Badge Number, Then Bump Videographer

Andrews International's Security Guards #119 and #128 are caught on camera parking illegally (something A.I. guards always do) to go shopping at Supply Sergeant in Hollywood, CA. Guard #119 hides his badge number, and guard #128 intentionally makes physical contact with the videographer when asked for his badge number.

This is the third time within months that Andrews International's security guards intentionally made physical contact with the videographer for recording them in public. A police report was filed for the first incident, however, since the City of Los Angeles and LAPD are in bed with Andrews International and these guards, nothing was done about them committing battery on a person.

Andrews International is not exempt from paying parking meters, and Parking Enforcement needs to start citing guards for parking their vehicles illegally because everybody else who is not tied to the city is being ticketed.

This behavior needs to stop, and Andrews International's armed private security guards need to be pulled from actively patrolling Hollywood's public streets and sidewalks and sent back to private property.

You made one statement that is inaccurate as you harassed the security guards. You said, "We're in public." You were not in a public place; you were inside the store. That is not a "public place" - it is a private place of business.

While I agree that many folks abuse the badge they wear, you abused the civil peace with your harassment. What you did is, in my opinion, worse than what they did.

@inflate98 If private security guards didn't believe they were above the law, then people like myself wouldn't to expose them with a video camera.

A private business open to the public is a public place. This guard had zero expectation of privacy because he was in Supply Sergeant.

Discarted is an idiot with nothing to do but follow law enforcement and security personel around and hope for one of them to slip up so he can sue. What he doesnt know or is not saying is that the security hired by andrews are retired or off duty peace officers.

[discarted]

@magsalvi20 Doesn't matter if they're retired cops or off-duty.

When you're in the AI uniform you're a private security guard with no police powers. And they have same authority as the people they're harassing which is a citizen's arrest and that is it.

You know it. I know it. And the security guards know it.

@magsalvi20 SOOOO...retired or off duty "peace" officers...that makes them immune to following the laws that every other citizen - thats what they are, citizens with no special authority - have to follow? A punk is a punk.

They HAVE to follow the rules like everybody else.

AHAHAHA. I dont know what this loser "bid patrol" security guard thinks he was going to accomplish by taking Discarteds picture.

This video is fucking stupid. I worked 2 years of patrol in the Wilshire area of LA. Not once did I ever have to pay a stupid meter for a COMPANY Car. Parking enforcement doesn't care. Do they ever make Fed-Ex or UPS pay the meters? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This videographer has no life and needs to find something else better to do.

Come on, give him a break! I think he did quite well for a gormless, clueless, retard! A badge, a gun & away you go, you don't think you actual need common sense & a knowledge of the rules to do a job like theirs, do you? That's why they don't like the camera!

GO BID PATROL!!!. I love those guys. Andrews, keep up the good work!!

[inflate98]

@discarted A private place of business that is open to the public is most certainly NOT a "public space".
