3. I agree with the police. And you're right about the bottom line, EconomicLiberal.
That's what's going to influence this the most. When the lawsuits start tearing big chunks out of the bottom line because juries find the corporations negligent, they'll start to change their ways. Large punitive damage awards have a way of making CEO's pay attention.

There's no reason that off-duty police officers and security personnel cannot be hired to do this type of work. Why should the taxpayers have to pay for what the store or mall owners should be paying for?
