Troopers have the authority to arrest (stat.15a-401(b)), transport a suspect to intake (aka going 10-72), carry and use a firearm (stat.15a-401(d)) unlike any security guards I've seen at ACC football games in person, etc. The guards are useless hence why I saw plenty of law enforcement officers from campus, local deputies and state officers throughout the inside and outsides of stadiums who do have the power to arrest and transport them. All the guards will do is detain and transfer suspects over to LEO's, thus absolving their responsibilities up to and including testifying in a court of law which they frequently shirk unless issued a subpoena. Feel free to hate on the ones you see off camera. Not that you already do that...
