Yeah, security can potentially be tricky from a morality standpoint. Luckily I haven't had to deal with any houseless people in my 2 years as a guard. Absolutely nothing ever happens. Once a security company establishes patrols, the houseless people just go somewhere else. And I'm an unarmed guard, completely prohibited from making physical contact with anyone. I'm just there to be eyes and ears, and call the police if a trespasser won't leave when asked.
My weekend gig is at a data center, which is also tricky from a morality standpoint. In my defense, if I quit working there my security company would just send someone else over. And it's a cushy site, with WiFi. I read books and Lemmy all day.
