[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 731275, member: 60724"] Bill V, Yes, if Circuit City had such posted policies as you describe, then I think there would be no violation of a person's civil liberties. I believe a store SHOULD have the right to post such policies. But in the absence of such posted policies (Circuit City has nonesuch, do they?), people should assume they are protected by the laws of this country, and that they therefore won't be subjected to unreasonable searches. When I walk into a store with a coat on, or with a backpack, or as I walk out with a shopping bag, I assume NO such unstated, unwritten contract that allows the store to search me, or my belongings (including the shopping bag) without cause. I think that's the issue here. Righi's version of the incident indicates that he was asked to comply with the search (or was it to just show a receipt) without cause and without accusation (which would require cause). That simply should not happen. TJR [/QUOTE]
