I was surprised at something my attorney is saying about my case. I hope I've understood it correctly. A policeman/woman may legally detain someone whom he or she believes has committed a crime and it wouldn't be false imprisonment, but a private individual may only detain someone who has actually committed a crime or the detention is false imprisonment. "Probable cause" is irrelevant to a private individual. That I was found to not have committed a crime necessarily means that I was falsely imprisoned, even if there had been probable cause to believe I had committed a crime.

If they don't want you to play, ask to cash out your comp and leave. If they won't let you cash out your comp, call gaming. You have their number on your cellphone, right? As long as you haven't committed a felony, they can't detain you, that would be false arrest.

Re: [vpFREE] Re: LVSun: Lawsuits pile up as alleged casino assaults continue
I can't remember when, but at some point he must have thought that I had previously been 86ed, but, as is now admitted by everyone, I wasn't in the group that had been a few weeks before.
No, it wasn't a particularly off day for me. I always act like that. My girlfriend often reminds me that I have no personality.

>The guy's a moron no doubt about it. Even if you were told not to come back on a prior visit--which isn't clear--he didn't act like a human being. Making believe you're refusing to leave (who would do that anyway?) would be awful difficult to prove once Metro arrived and asked you if that were the case.

I swear they were expecting me to react violently because they insulted me every way possible while 2 guards held firmly onto my arms, and it was they who prolonged the event, not me. I might have said 3 words the whole time, and they were not four letter words. And unlike you, if they thought I cared where I played, they were dead wrong.

The only way I even had confidence that he worked for the casino was the presence of the security guard behind me as we were talking. Among Mr. Stamis' first words, if they weren't his first words, to me were "I don't like you." I accepted him getting personal right off the bat. I accepted him throwing my driver's license on the ground and then telling me that I had thrown it on the ground. I accepted being told to leave. Maybe all of that had a cumulative effect, but there was something about him telling me that if I ask one more question, he'll have me arrested for trespassing that set me off. I didn't think he had the right to do that. That the video shows me on my way toward the nearest exit as I'm telling him my opinion of that statement of his shows how false his main defense that I repeatedly refused to leave is. It took some arm twisting to produce that video.
