but i don't think security should be called, they weren't really harming anyone

and that guy in thode if its the same one i met, i'm pretty sure he has a kid, he was with him sometime last week (shouldn't he be in school :/)
Edit: it was march break last week nvm

It's simple. call mac 5-0 on both the annoying dude in Thode and the solicitors asking for money. It is private property and the university can restrict what activities go on and who is allowed on campus. That's one of the reasons the university employs their own police service in mac 5-0.

Also, you must keep in mind that being on Mac property is a privilege, not a right.

There is a difference in a university having it's own security personnel and a police service.
Security != Police

these security guards are actually peace officers, they have the same authority as police officers with in the mcmaster campus.

security = police, with the exception that they don't carry guns.

Why wont this thread die... you guys have an unhealthy obsession with this guy

Actually no they don't. If they were to have the same authority as police officers they would not be sworn in as special constables. They would not large text on their uniforms stating special constables. Nor on their patches, vehicles and so on. No one wants people to confuse a special constable who is NOT a police officer with one that actually is. Section 53 of the Police Services Act (PSA) specifies that they do not have the same authority as a police officer. For example, police officers have powers off-duty, special constables/SG's do not.

To go further against your point:
There are a lot of police officers out there who do not utilize firearms. Having a firearm does not make the difference between a security guard of some sort and a police officer. For example, you have Brinks Security. Also, high end places who require security only typically employ armed security guards who have to go through a lot of various procedures and tests.

All law enforcement's tools of trade DO NOT imply a police officer either.
