<< If I was the BB employee I would have "detained him" because I was suspicious of him shoplifting on the grounds that if he had nothing to hide, he wouldn't be so adamantly trying to do so. >>
The truely sad part is, too many people think like this. And that scares the sh!t out of me. "Why demand privacy if you have nothing to hide?" >>
I rarely espouse this viewpoint, especially when it comes to government agencies demanding free access to whatever privacy they want whenever they want it. This seems an exception to me--the guy knew he would likely be asked to see his receipt, it's not like the guy randomly picked him out of all the people inthe store and this person knew that.
<< Well, if you can't understand the concept, at least respect the 4th Amendment to the Constitution. Moreover, demanding privacy is NOT probable cause. >>
LMAO. Since when was asking to see someone's receipt to verify that they actually paid for something an unreasonable search? Especially if it's not from a cop or federal agent....it's hardly a constitutionality issue here.
<< Was this guy a jerk? Yes. If you shop at a store, you should at least agree with their policies. If you don't, don't shop there. >>
Absolutely. Especially since he knew the policy before he even set foot in the store, as he says he's been making a case of this for quite some time now.
<< However, he was within his legal right.... Morally he's an @sshole. >>
And you would be perfectly within your legal rights to call the cops and try to get them after him, which is exactly what I said to do.
