Reply #55: I Just Came Back From Best Buys...

[KharmaTrain]

I'm not outraged...just partaking in a discussion. And I've also stated, I don't agree that a store should take the law into its own hands. If they suspect someone of shoplifting or have some form of probable caues, the local police, not their own Barney Fife's should be called. If the poster felt they were unjustly searched or their rights were violated, this is where courts of law can provide restitution or clarification.

That said, I just came home from a picking up some CDs at my nearby Best Buys. Right over the front door, right as I walk past the bag checkers and security station there's a sign that say "Management reserves the right to search bags and packages"...it's right there as you walk in the store. Once you go beyond that sign, you've agreed to this "condition" of doing business. If the store didn't post that sign, that's another story...or if they selectively check some bags and not others.
