Which of the following reasons does NOT justify a PSO using reasonable force?

A Private Security Officer (PSO) is trained to use reasonable force in a variety of situations to protect themselves and others, as well as property. Justifications for using reasonable force include self-defense, which involves protecting oneself from imminent harm, and defense of others, where a PSO intervenes to protect another individual from danger. Defense of property is another situation where reasonable force may be used, although it is generally seen as a last resort and must be proportionate to the threat against the property.

Stopping a person from taking pictures of a federal building does not typically qualify as a justification for using reasonable force. Taking photographs in public areas, including federal buildings, is usually protected under freedom of speech and expression rights. Unless the photos pose an immediate threat to safety or violate specific laws or security protocols, a PSO cannot justify the use of force simply to prevent someone from photographing a building. Thus, this situation does not align with the established criteria for the appropriate use of reasonable force.
