Comment on Woman refuses to pay restaurant bill
Romkslrqusz@lemmy.zip 3 days agoThey never told her explicitly she was trespassed and just told her she can either pay the bill and leave
If somebody asks you to leave their private property and you stay, that is trespassing. I’m not aware of the need to use the word “tresspass”. Not a lawyer.
Someone asks you to leave and says they’re calling the cops? Staying is a game of chicken you’re going to lose.

This police officer very clearly gave her the opportunity to leave, however if she left without paying the bill, he planned to arrest her for theft of services. When the restaurant owner stated he wanted to press charges (which I think includes an assault that happened prior to this video), the officer was obligated to make the arrest
