Here's what probably happened. He was out of story ideas, so he decided to write a story on our eroding freedoms. But rather than do some actual research and write about actual threats to constitutional rights, he decided to take the easy way out. Cast the villian as a evil, oppressive corporation, and he has a guaranteed sympathetic audience.

So what does he do? He goes to his electronics store, acts shady to arouse suspicion, and then refuses to cooperate with the person at the door. In fact, he goes way over the top by having someone pull up front to pick him up, presumably to speed away. Security is naturally alarmed and concerned, and by now the store manager is fully aware of what is going on.

They stop him, the cops show up, he acts like a huge asshole to everyone, and for his refusal to cooperate he is detained.

Once in custody he explains himself and is released, no harm no foul.

And now we have a story!
