Whether security guard can report inappropriate act. What if someone is caught making out in a car by a security guard in a parking lot and what if the guard noted the car number down, can he report it to the police and can the police take any action in that case?
If someone is caught engaging in inappropriate behavior, such as making out, in a car in a parking lot, the security guard may take note of the car's license plate number and report the incident to the police. Whether the police can take any action depends on the specific laws and regulations in the jurisdiction where the incident took place.
In some cases, the police may have the authority to take action if the behavior is considered a public nuisance or violates public decency laws. However, if the behavior took place in a private location, such as a parking lot, the police may not have the authority to take action unless there is evidence of a more serious crime, such as indecent exposure or lewd conduct.
It is important to note that the police can only take action if there is a legal basis for doing so, and the exact nature of any potential charges will depend on the specific facts and circumstances of the case.

It is important to note that the exact nature and severity of the offense will depend on the specific facts and circumstances of each case, and that the law can vary depending on the jurisdiction.
