Subd. 2.Circumstances justifying detention.
(a) A licensee may detain a person to:
(1) require the person to provide identification or to verify identification;
(2) inquire as to whether the person possesses any contraband as provided by section609.762, subdivision 1;
(3) notify a peace officer of the alleged violation; or
(4) institute criminal proceedings against the person.

If at any time the person detained requests the licensee to summon a peace officer, the licensee must notify a peace officer immediately. A licensee of the Minnesota Racing Commission must not detain a person for more than one hour unless a peace officer requests detention, in which case the person may be detained until the peace officer has accepted custody of or released the person.
Subd. 3.Arrest.
Upon a charge being made by a licensee, a peace officer may arrest a person without a warrant if the officer has probable cause to believe that the person has committed or attempted to commit an offense described in section609.76.
Subd. 4.Immunity.
No licensee or peace officer is criminally or civilly liable for any detention authorized by this section if probable cause exists for the detention, and the detention was not conducted with unreasonable force or in bad faith.
