1. restraining then stamping on the head of a man on a bad LSD trip
2. removing armbands without the permission of the owner and without consulting the Glade organisers (several incidents)
3. planting drugs on an individual, claiming they are a dealer, then throwing them out
4. financial theft - in the two incidents of which I am aware, a total of over £300 was taken, in both cases from people who Security claimed were dealing drugs (in reality they just had "personal use" quantities)
5. assaulting individuals who tried to prevent them from causing serious harm to others, invariably removing them from the site
6. verbally abusing a festival-goer who had been lying on the ground in a wide open space, doing absolutely nothing at all (other than communing with nature)
7. the assault on "skinny naked guy" in the main arena area, witness by dozens (if not hundreds) of people.
The general consensus seems to be that Security were over-keen on flexing their muscle, and had a tendency to abuse their authority. This is probably linked to issues raised in the first complaint, such as boredom.
