I think many of us disagree here: if such a serious accusation is made
it should be investigated by professionals, ie the policy.
So if someone was at the conference and the organisers were convinced
that they were stealing laptops, the organisers would just call the
police and if the police don't arrest the culprit and imprison them
right away, they would allow the thief to continue ?
It should be noted that in most cases conferences take place on private
property and the organiser and venue both retain the right to eject people
at their sole discretion. What you're asking for is parameters for that
discretion to replace the existing standard of reasonable necessity.
It isn't that organisers cannot already remove such people, you'd just
like to make sure that they know they can?
