Many people have tried to argue - some probably best buy employees - that stores have a right to go through your bags as you exit.
They cannot. Verify with your local police department and ask them.
If police need proper cause to search your belongings, then what makes anyone think a store clerk can violate your right.
Its a deterent, they do it because people allow them to. Its completely volunterily on your part.
But no store, no employee for any storecan attempt to detain you -- without making themself liable against lawsuit for illegal search, and illegal detaining you should you walk out and they try to prevent you from leaving.
Anyone tries to argue that, tell me what police department you called and what officer, so I can prove you wrong.
Just wanted to know if anyone knew their rights?
