    A business can forbid outside food, it’s not a rare choice, they are a private business and can remove people based on their actions. Then again, I’ve never once seen a theater try or care.

      Yes, sure, but norimee is right, they can’t arrest you. If they do arrest you for it, it’s false improsinment and they’ll get arrested instead.

        That is not how any of that works. They would call the police to remove them. They would then determine if they do pose a threat and then maybe detain them on a psychological hold. Even if all that does happen, it has to go to a judge with a charge after it’s examined by the DA. Then maybe false imprisoned. But it seems a bit far fetched for the situation.

          I’m not sure we’re thinking of the same hypothetical here…

          I’m saying if you bring chicken to the cinema, and the staff (citizens) arrest you for it, they are beyond wrong. Because it’s oviously not illegal to bring chicken to the cinema, only against policy and therefore it would be false imprisonment.

          All they can really do is ask you to leave, and if you don’t they can call the police, or maybe, depending on the law in that jurisdiction, they could then legally detain you for said trespassing. But certainly not for breaking their policy in the first place.
