Not too much of a rant really, more curiosity.
I recently saw 5 security staff surround two people who got off a tram and demand to see their tickets. They wouldn't let them leave and I imagine it was a very intimidating situation to be in for the two people.
I don't know if they had tickets or not, as I kept on going. I also don't know if they were observed by the staff to be "scarpering" off the tram because they saw that ticket inspectors were getting on.
Basically, I'm wondering if its legal to detain someone like that? Don't think I'd be too happy about it if that's the case.
