#1 An obvious half-measure penalty. The hotel should be raised and the earth salted as an object lesson to hotel staff and security personnel everywhere.

Follow-up legal remedies and monetary awards should then be immediately undertaken. There could be tens of thousands of similar cases which have gone unreported.

This must surely STOP !!!

#2 When I first read this story, I thought "how could this happen in PC Nirvanaland?" Obviously a coffee problem....

#5 Like, it would be nice to know if he actually was a guest or just pretending. Surely they must have known that detail by the time they went to print. Wrongfully tossed out versus lurking in the lobby and sassing the security provide two different pictures of events.

#6 ...the police were called to escort Massey to his room to collect his belongings and then out of the hotel,

I think answers the question.

#7 If he had the belongings and a room then he had the right to be in the lobby. So they arrested him despite the hotel clerk and security guard being wrong? Still sounds like something is missing from the story. Most cops would find he had a room, a right to be there, and left without arresting anyone.
