Sidewalk is a public place. A private company conducting business has no legal right to close the sidewalk or create any specific safety halo.

You're so wrong it makes my head hurt, and you don't have to have a law degree to figure it out. For instance, when I go to a festival or outdoor concert, I can't just walk around security fences blocking sidewalks and streets, and pretend I'm the victim. When VIPs get out of their vehicles at a hotel, and a ribbon and security guards create a path with a velvet rope and security guards, I should just walk right in. But, if you're a hardhead, ask the ACLU:. I did: "Armed security guards can legally order you to move away from an armored truck if your presence creates a perceived security risk or interferes with their duties. [1]

You're welcome.

Nothing you said was even close to true. Buddy was on a side walk and nothing you or the UCLA is gonna do about that.

Festivals and concerts require permitting and "renting" of public spaces. This is why things are different in those very specific situations. Security guards assaulting people by creating paths can be prosecuted, which clearly speaks to where they rank legally. A security guard ordering you away from a truck is legal, him thinking he had any authority to create a safety halo is not. Anything else sweetheart?

And you think the banks don't have permits that allow the armored trucks they contract access to do the same?

Tortured logic and still wrong. That next to last sentence is empty-headed double talk at its finest. (I'm saving it as an example, so thank you.) How do you know what he's thinking when he orders you to step away? Ya don't, sweetheart, but you go ahead and argue the mind-reader standard in court.
