And we are talking about calling the police only in cases where rights are trampled upon. Supposing in one of the checks you have experienced, the SMRT staff hold you for many hours, disallowing you to leave until they have "sorted this out", (however long it will take), I'm sure that you will sit there quietly for an indeterminate period of time since you have a cooperative attitude.
You are talking as if we are advocating the moment SMRT staff appears, we are goign to raise our fists and cry foul and shout at the Staff and threaten to call the police. I have always advocated a proportional response, and not an overly disproportionate response. The discussion here is to give more insight on what is the maximum extent SMRT can go, and what they cannot. This will enable members to know if SMRt has overstepped their boundaries (in which case a slightly firmer response is required). or otherwise.
In the past, people didn't even know that what these overzealous guards are doing may render them criminally liable.
