RE:Because they were inside the store? And the smart thing to do would be to call the poice? But I thought you said they should mind their own business?
 
Delegation of authority and taking matters into your own hands right on the spot are too entirely different things.
If anyone doesn't ituitivley grasp why one is better than the other, I aint gonna bother explaining, because it would be a complete waste of both our time.

"Delegation of authorithy"??? How does calling the authorities when witnessing a crime become "delegating authority"?

The people operating the security camera witnessed a crime and called the police, they very well may have sent someone out to the parking lot, and they may have been gone. But the fact remains, if they couldn't stop the abuse, should they just forget it?
