Reply #134: Say you had a yard sale...

[iamthebandfanman]

and gave out bags to people who had purchased things....

someone leaves with a bag that seems a lil big to you and you ask to look in it.. they refuse and leave your proporty...

what do you do ?

you have no proof they stole anything... so what do you do ?
are you violating their rights by asking them to look ?

maybe its a bad analogy ... but..

i really think you should think in the shoes of the business owner.

yes, the police arresting people for no ID is outrageous.. im sure most people agree with that(unfortunately the Patriot act makes that okay apparently and we all know we hate the patriot act and have for years for reasons just like this..no new news on that front).

a business has the right to protect itself from fraud and theft.
sorry.

by all accounts, in your way of thinking, they shouldnt have cameras either.. because its spying on the customer.
you are still in the store when they ask you to look, they are violating no privacy law. you give up privacy everytime you walk into a public place or private business. privacy only exsists in your home these days, and even then that unfortunately has some boundries. lol.
