Question 1

Public police must follow U.S.Constitution and private security does not.

Accepted Answer

Public police officers are government employees and therefore must follow the U.S. Constitution and are subject to its limitations. Private security personnel, on the other hand, work for private companies and are not bound by the same constitutional restrictions as public law enforcement. However, private security personnel are still subject to state and federal laws, and may be subject to civil lawsuits if they violate someone's rights. The U.S. Constitution applies to all government entities, including public police. Private security does not fall under the same constitutional obligations as they are not government entities. However, private security personnel are still subject to state and federal laws, as well as their employer's policies and regulations.

However, if their questioning leads to the discovery of potential criminal activity, they are required to report it to law enforcement.
