Vue cinema bag checks?

No I did mean telecine, you can find a lot of telecine releases on torrent websites that cinema staff have created. Not so popular now though as screeners are becomming more and more common.

I don't mean to sound like a total pedant but I'd be VERY surprised to find a Telecine machine in a cinema. They have absolutely no use for them.

Legally, security 'personnel' can't touch you, they can't stop you, they pretty much can't make you do anything. They're there as a deterrent.

Not true, they have civilian rights which include;

1) Preventing injury or crime using reasonable force
2) Making a citizens arrest

It may well not have been in the cinema, in fact I doubt it would have due to the risk of being caught. But the only people who have access to the film reels are the movie studio and the cinema staff, and the studio certainly aren't going to torrent it.

No, your right, the studio wont. But Jim the tech op might be working a night shift and think, 'Oh, hell. Why not?' and fire up the Telecine.

Telecine copies will not, and cannot come from a cinema. Telesyncs however, do.

EDIT: I'm sorry if i sound like I'm having a right go, I'm not.

Citizens arrest can only be executed if they KNOW the crime has taken place. Not just suspect. Otherwise, it is unlawful (section 24A of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, as amended by the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005).

(and I also edited my post to reflect civilian rights before)
 
I remember yonks back, when Car Stereo's were removable (not just the front bit) I was told in the Shaw Ridge cinema in Swindon that they we'rent gonna let me in with it (it was in a proper shoulder bag) as I could use it to record the soundtrack of the film!... I did ask them how I was going to power it, but they didn't listen!..

so I went down the road the Greenbridge and have never gone back to the other crap hole!!..
 
My local one has signs about how due to Quantum of Solace's release there are regular checks on bags etc, but I have yet to see anyone actually be checked even when I went to see QoS on release day.
 
Yeah I work in Vue Basingstoke and everyones been told to do it for James Bond, they've suddenly gone mad for piracy with its release. But the bag searches are for cameras and the like.

We'eve even gone some night vision goggles to look at people in the screens and make sure no ones filming. There's also some nice cash rewards if we catch anyone filming in the screens.
 
Went to cineworld quite a while ago and they searched my bag and even asked me to open my big pack of pringles to prove i didnt have any alcohol hiding in there lol

So they might of been looking for alcohol.... I wasnt too bothered, i just didnt want them taking my sour cream and chieve pringles :p

Taken from the course material I was given on a recent security course
"A person other than a constable may arrest without a warrent:-
Anyone who is in the act of committing an indictable offence;
Anyone whom he has resonable ground for suspecting to be committing an indictable offence."

So you can perform a citizens arrest if you have resonable ground to suspect the person is or has committed a serious offence, although its something i'd rather avoid unless I really had to

Yes, that was my point, "reasonable grounds". If it turns out the person you arrested is innocent, you're *******. If they can prove there was insufficient evidence, you acted unlawfully in the arrest. And you're going to get sued.

Yeah they don't like that, but its perfectly acceptable for someone to buy a hotdog at the cinema and stink the place up with that ;)
 
The old reach in to pocket to retrieve a middle finger seems appropriate if they have an issue with you taking a little to eat or drink
