    Legal Procedures for Security Guards: Arrest Without Warrant, Certiorari, and Habeas Corpus

    • A person can arrest a young person without a warrant if it is necessary in the public interest to establish the young person's identity or prevent the continuation of a serious offense.
    • Decision to arrest without a warrant should prioritize public safety and align with legal conditions.
    • Certiorari is a legal action where the higher court reviews the lower court's decision only if a substantial wrong or miscarriage of justice has occurred.
    • A security guard at an event venue witnesses an ejection and the ejected individual claims substantial wrong, leading to an application for relief in the nature of certiorari.
    • The Superior Court of Justice will review the ejection decision only if there is evidence of a significant error or injustice.
    • The court evaluates whether the ejection was based on valid reasons or if there was a procedural error.
    • The court has the authority to amend or validate the decision and specify the effective time and terms if granting relief.
    • Habeas Corpus is a legal action that compels the authority holding someone prisoner to prove the legality of the detention.
    • A security guard at a shopping mall observes an arrest by law enforcement and the arrested individual claims their rights were violated during the arrest.
    • The arrested individual seeks legal remedy by applying to the Superior Court of Justice for relief, claiming that their rights were infringed.
