Hey,
I am a resident of Califronia. I have a question about excessive use of force and unlawful detention!
Couple days ago,i get kicked out from local mall because i wear my hood inside the mall, their reason is you can not cover your face with anything, which means do not cover your face.
Today, i went to the mall with hood on but never covered my face, but they still kicked me out. They claim i am "DISTURBING THE PEACE".I follow the instruction of the security guard and leave the mall area, and head to my car. All the sudden, a new security guard show up and ask me to sit down to wait for his boss to come and talk to me. Me and my two other friends sited down for about two mins, the boss comes all crazy and handcuffed without single explaination. After all this, i realize the situation is against me, not just normal procedure. He took me to his SUV and put me inside while many people were watching and wonder what happen. They took down my information and released me about twenty minutes later.
Question is :
1. Am i "DISTURBING THE PEACE" because i wear a hood inside mall?
2. While i am following their instruction, they decide handcuff me in the parking lot not inside the mall where the situation happen, is that excessive use of force since i did not do anything may cause danger?
3. Does security guards have the rights put me in the back of the car, i wonder is this unlawful detention?
4. What should i do if excessive use of force and unlawful detention are proved?
Thank you.
