The issue is whether or not you are standing on private property. If you are in a car park, move fifteen feet further away so that you are standing on the sidewalk. Now set your tripod up and take your shot. Chances are you will attract the attention of the security here too, and they may well put their case, but in a court of law you will prevail. Point is, that's in a court of law. Out on the sidewalk, with two burly guards, you will cause unnecessary attention, obvious pedanticism, and possible personal injury. The trick is: withdraw and regroup. Go back another day. Be quick and shoot fast. Be gone before the security can respond. Or P and S. Or don't take the shot. Life is full of choices!
