I did security in UK and abroad since 1977 now retired (the odd weekend work as one of the managers at a night club). I am a qualified Highfields Door Supervisor / Static Security trainer (again retired). I always give the trainees the legal rights of anyone on the footpath or the road the right to film as they are in a public place. Added to this I tell the security that no manager of a shop, hotel or indeed a venue can instruct you to tell someone to stop filming on the path or road. Only obey instructions that you know to be lawful. Also for the main part be friendly. Do most of these new security, Door staff listen, well lets say the intelligent reasonable ones do. Much respect to this Security Officer, an absolute professional. It is all about being friendly and trying to get along with people, until there is no over choice but to act in another way!

They wonder why the place is almost empty .. men dressed in black with handcuffs, walky talkies, strutting around on the public footpaths as if they owned the place

The only thing Blackpool is good for now is a place where an argumentative Scotsman can find a sparring partner, and even that's getting a bit sparse.

I drove through Blackpool (not by choice) and I have never seen so many Polices officers and vehicles in one area. That clearly cannot be a good message to be sending to families.

You can't pay £5 just to enter now, even if you're accompanying several people paying the full fee. Everyone who enters has to pay the full admission price.

When did private security allowed to use hand cuffs ?
@michaelwalsh97822 ай бұрын
Handcuffs aren’t illegal to carry, anyone can carry them it’s wether you use them lawfully when you do is the big end and be all
@WhatYaL00kingAt2 ай бұрын
They have no more powers to use handcuffs than a member of the public. Security and members of the public only have legal excuse to detain a person if an indictable offense has been committed OR they strongly believe an indictable offense is about to be committed. That would permit the use of handcuffs. I think in the case of that security the show of handcuffs is as a deterrent and to some degree, to mislead the public into thinking they may be a new branch of the police if they have not seen before. Usually some security will carry cable ties to fashion a restraint.

Such a shame, it was rammed with people during 60-80s as I remember as a kid. Such a magical place. It’s a mere shadow of its former self. The White tower building is being converted to a Hotel I think. Plans have been put forward I think. Unless it’s rumours.
