E-Group Security Complaints

[Wombat]

Fair dos at least no bottle caps are getting through.
EGroup 's reputation must precede them because those guys on Tuesday came and stood next to us and were clearly out to fight security. I've seen them before and one of them likes ro shout out "incite a riot" as chants die down.

Biggest crock of shit i've ever read on this site....and that takes some beating!

EXPLAIN YOUR DRIBBLE?

This site is weird today. I'm putting it down to our 2-0 deficit and the full moon...

Security was much better tonight and no sign of the two thugs from Tuesday night.

Security bought out the tunnel cover before the end of the game - cutting many peoples sight lines. Police were sent up and someone charged for the foul language - which no-one heard except the security.

At least they were bashing defenseless people so it's an improvement.

Saw Fish in the bay having a chat to a security guy and another wearing a tie about 1/2 hour before kickoff.

Any idea of the outcome?

Speaking of security...

What's the deal with this Berisha/Partalu/Fan incident?

Anyone?

Yeah mate, nothing to it. Jimmy and I met up with that same security bloke (Greg - top bloke actually) to take the flags/drum/mega in before gates opened. Same chat is had before every finals match, "Don't swear, don't stand on seats etc etc"

I know of several issues which have happened at the back of Bay 18 (a few of us regularly stand there) whereby personal vendettas against certain member patrons have resulted in them being booted from the ground. When this member tried to walk through the gates at the next game, they were greeted by several E-Group security personnel and informed of a "ban" which had been imposed. Upon clarifying this with the Mariners/Stadium management, this was infact found to be false and they were in no position to issue bans, only recommend them in their post event meetings.

Most people carry smart phones so why not start taking video of the heavy handed security and send to mariners corporate and the security conpany with formal complaints.

This would no doubt raise some questions about E-Group's actions however...Correct me if I'm wrong but taking photos/videos of others without their consent is illegal?

I'll correct you then

In public spaces we have no particular right to privacy, but there are certain caveats on that.

While BTS is private property, it's still all pretty much the same thing. While photography is permitted, they can't stop you taking those images / videos.

It can get a bit tricky if you're recording a conversation without somebody's consent though.....

Also, they would have ZERO right to confiscate your camera / phone / memory card or order your to delete the images.

So long story short, you'll be fine. I'd also encourage people to start recording these encounters.

Evidence, people. After all, I'm sure lots of people who are justifiably kicked out still like to bitch and whinge about how they were treated, even make up garbage to try and get the security guards in trouble. While I'm sure the agency doesn't want to protect thugs, this fact does leave them in a tricky situation when dealing with complaints without evidence.

Same goes for the police and courts if criminal charges are appropriate.

I've personally found the police at the stadium to be absolutely useless when I've sought their assistance on one occasion, and there have always been intermittent problems with security overstepping the mark.
