yeah this reminds me of that costco thread where people were talking about how you don't actually have to show them your receipt. [/ QUOTE ] I think Costco is a little different as you sign a contract that states they may check your bag and receipt as you leave. |

Sometimes being right doesn't make you less of a douche.

Re: Man Arrested for Refusing to Show Drivers License
LFS said it right, though. This guy is 100% right, the store and cop are 100% in the wrong. But he's clearly a massive, massive tool who is incredibly impressed with himself for not being a sheep like everyone else. It's a Thoreauesque act of civil disobedience there.
Instead of showing his bag and going on about his day he made a little stand and inconvenienced the hell out of a whole bunch of people. |

Re: Man Arrested for Refusing to Show Drivers License
[censored] that. Some BS Circuit City security cowboy wants to play tough and the cops come and make a wrongful arrest and the guy refusing to show his receipt is the d-bag? Come on. He has a right not to show his ID. I fail to see how you're a d-bag for exercising essentially a privacy right. Inconvenienced some people? Get real. If people didn't have this absurd "if you see something say something" vigilante drivel pounded into their already thick skulls by our fearless leadership then maybe the employees would have acted right and ignored the guy in the first place. If he's stealing you can call the police, or better yet you can review the surveillance video in the store (which takes 1-2 minutes max) and confirm that he hadn't stolen anything.
And a bit off topic but FWIW companies like this (large retail chains that employ security personal) get sued every year because of over-zealous security roughing up customers. Mostly innocent customers. Wal-Mart is the biggest offender here. These dudes work in a store. They are not police. If they want to handle it they can check the tape and call the cops. That's why we have police. To catch criminals. Not to arrest people for using their legal rights. |

Nice. I'm happy someone has the free time to take stands like this.

If the employees don't physically detain him, this is not a story. If the cop doesn't wrongfully arrest him, this is not a story. Blaming this dude is so [censored] stupid. |
