Look man, i don't know how to make this any clearer, do this. go to a best buy, buy something and then as youre leaving they will ask to see your receipt and the contents of the bag. it's fucking annoying as hell, and i dont like the vibe i get from them while they do it. You can tell them to fuck off, and unless they have fucking proof that you in fact did steal something, they had best keep their mouth shut. If you wanna submit to it go for it, i always ask why, and they always say have a nice day.
I'm always the first to ask a cop why and what for he needs my id. you need to read the post applying to the orc about when and why you are compelled to provide your id. unless you are under investigation for a crime, or have basicly witnessed a crime, you do not have to disclose your identity, PERIOD. Even then, UNLESS YOU ARE OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE, YOU DONT HAVE TO SHOW YOUR LICENSE!!!!!!!
And the cop has to see evidene of a crime FIRST, before he can say that you are under an investigation. there was no crime commited, circut city had ZERO proof of a crime having been commited, and no reason to suspect there had been one. if had stolen something the dam door alarm would set it off. they have closed circut tv's all over every fucking inch of those stores, so to try and say he had removed something from the wrapper and removed the security devices is horseshit, and it probably wouldnt be in a bag anyway.
What this boils down to is a few powe hungry dickheads not knowing their role, and they got called on it hard. Again, there was no crime commited in the first place to even cause an investigation, just a bunch of piss poor assumptions. i glad to see someone stand up to this shit.
