The normal design of exit gates usually is done on an automatic sensor loop. The loop provides a safety factor for the person exiting and protection for the gate. There is also a sensor loop normally on the incoming side that is programmed to protect the gate and the individual but requires access verification for entry. These are the best practice engineering principles for these types of control system. So they can do as they please but until you fix the programing control on this gate it will continue to be broken over and over again. There should also be torque control on this gate. This is a system that monitors the torque on the closing mechanism and will reverse the gate in the event of an object in the path of the gate as it closes. If these controls are not implemented and someone is hurt by the gate you will loose the law suit. As you speak from experience in law enforcement, mine comes from over 40 years of engineering control systems.
