Higher than is appropriate for your position or rank

I have worked in loss prevention and have a pretty good idea of what the job is and is not. I remember clearly that you have the authority to detain someone (make a citizens arrest) until the police come. You better be right if you do it though because if you are wrong, you can be charged with a host of offenses including false arrest, assault, battery and false imprisonment.

One who uses terms like "Above their station" and "Obviously you don't know what that phrase means" may want to rethink their comments cuz I am pretty sure I know what I am talking about, and pretty sure I know what that phrase means.
