Negligent Security Lawyers in San Jose, California

Understanding Negligent or Inadequate Security in San Jose

Excessive Use of Force by Security Guards in San Jose

Security guards are not police officers. In San Jose, private security personnel have limited authority and may not use unreasonable force.

Excessive force may include:

• Physical assaults patrons or visitors

• Improper restraints or chokeholds

• Over-detention

• Reliance on batons, pepper spray, or weapons without justification

• Intensifying minor disputes into violent encounters

• Holding individuals without legal authority

Both the individual actor and the property owner may be held legally responsible.
