So what's your take on this... Your Rights: Loomis Rent-A-Cops Have Shopper Cuffed, Hauled Away Over ATM Photo
Personally, I think it's a classic case of a conflict escalating faster than anyone involved wanted it to, and it underlines one golden rule... be nice to the police. Yes, the Loomis guards overstepped their authority, and REI shouldn't have called the police. But once law enforcement is on the scene, it's a different situation. And remember, everything that comes out of your mouth will be used against you. Everything.

Also, most of this conflict comes from the photographer not wanting to give his ID. Loomis surely wanted the ID for some 'routine' report, but that is faulty in itself. Remember that ID itself does not, a) provide any clue toward *intent*, b) automatically provide clear identification. Could these armored car drivers spot a good fake ID? In the end, getting a copy of the driver's license is a useless move.
