Inadequate Security Attorneys in Bakersfield, California

Understanding Negligent or Inadequate Security in Bakersfield

Excessive Use of Force by Security Guards in Bakersfield

Security guards are not police officers. In Bakersfield, private security personnel have narrow legal rights and may not use unnecessary force.

Unfortunately, excessive force incidents frequently occur when guards are placed in high-risk situations without guidance.

Excessive force may include:

• Physical assaults patrons or visitors

• Unlawful restraints or chokeholds

• Over-detention

• Use of batons, pepper spray, or weapons without justification

• Escalating minor disputes into violent encounters

• Restraining individuals without legal authority

Both the security guard and the property owner may be held legally responsible.
