As to security guards demanding my ID the last time I had someone in a suit demand my ID and simultaneously ordered me to remove my sunglasses I told him he was free to try to take off my sunglasses.
Wow such anger to my chosen profession. :p
Not at you, but yes. Too many security guards fantasize themselves as Wyatt Earp and think their rent-a-pig badge means something...especially off of the property in their charge.
Once they step foot off of their property they're just an asshole with an attitude.
In America maybe but here it's usually just some guy who's trying to make a buck so he can keep a roof over his head. Very rarely do we see security personnel who have the attitude you describe.
Although I do have a theory about the difference and it's that in the States your security personnel carry guns more often than not which is empowering and attracts the people who aren't mentally geared towards defusing "situations" rather than throwing down which leads to alot more confrontations, injuries and deaths at their hands.
Whereas in Canada our security personnel's lack of enforcement equipment falls short. Most don't have anything more than a radio and a uniform to ensure their safety and have to rely on their wits and intellect to keep from having their asses handed to them.
Big difference.
