X-Post: Man arrested for not showing officer his License

[Hopey]

In reading the law, my understanding is that police officers are the only members of the public who have the right to temporarily detain a private citizen due to "reasonable suspicion". This right does not extend to private citizens detaining other private citizens.

Copernicus keeps repeating that store employees (in some states) have a right to detain and search their customers due to "reasonable suspicion". I believe that he is mistaken and that only police officers have this right.

The store employees would be permitted to detain a person due to "reasonable cause", but the manner in which they arrive at "reasonable cause" is clearly spelled out and leaves very little to interpretation.

AMIRITE?
