I disagree.. All he wanted to do was to get home with his property.

The Circuit City Employee is the one who CHOSE to interrupt him, and then the Manager got involved and prevented him from leaving the parking lot, by blocking the cars path with his body.

Well, thinking back to the Rachel Corey fiasco, some would say the person would have been justified in running this crazed attacker ( The store manager ) over. I do not know if I would disagree.

After all, if someone is unbalanced enough to unlawfully detain you, who knows if they're violent and a physical danger?

What do we teach our daughters to do when someone tries to kidnap them?

That's right. "KILL YOUR ABDUCTOR AS SOON AS YOU CAN USING ANYTHING YOU CAN AND ESCAPE!"

Owning or Renting property doesn't change the clear issues of privacy and property ownership.

They can POST whatever signs they care to. That doesn't give them any lawful rights above whatever Ohio's Shopkeeper's Privilege statute offers, which requires "PROBABLE CAUSE".

Which, of course, the Circuit City Nazi Wannabes clearly did not have.

And it's funny that post-arrest, the cop needed to go study the Law to figure out what to charge him with!

STUPID COP should KNOW what law was broken BEFORE arresting the person who called 9/11 for help when kidnapped!

Look at the membership form that you signed for Sam's Club and it will likely state that a receipt must be shown when you exit. You can decline, and they will just expire your membership, and you will not be able to shop there again. It is much different at non-membership stores, and they usually have to abide by the conceal or steal guidelines set forth by their loss prevention people. I worked for two years in inventory control and loss prevention, and our guidelines were pretty clear, you had to see them conceal the item or attempt to leave the building with the items. If they entered the bathroom, walked out and you found empty containers from items, it would not hold up. This is also why expensive items were kept in lock up, and you had to pull a ticket to get them.

Im replying from page one. Forgive me if the comversation has moved away from there. A poster is saying circuit city can ask for a reciept. Ok. Sure. Sams club does it. And to cover sams club's own butt, they make it pretty clear about what theyre doing by asking one and all for ID upon entry and recipet upon exit. Maybe thats different than Circuit city. Does circuit city make its policy clear from the get go? Is that part of whats getting our goat?
I for one feel annoyed that sams club "proofs me" if you will, every timne I walk in. So I stay clear as much as possible. I cant say I recive that membership feeling when I wander in to Cirtcuit city. Come to think of it, I dont wander into Circuit City. I have a best Buy. Look the same to me. lol

It's great to know that even the dominant females here are submissive enough to do whatever anyone writes on a sign (I'm getting great new ideas for signs to post at my next munch), but putting something on a sign doesn't give it any more authority than it had before. Most stores already have this sort of policy posted, precisely so that if someone should get the crazy idea that their private property is their private property, a manager can point to the sign. Most people are submissive and non-confrontational enough that they'll then meekly roll over and accept it, because after all, it wouldn't be written on a sign if it wasn't true!

If Circuit City wants to enforce the policy, they can become a private club. But if they want to remain a store that is open to the general public, then they have to live with the legal limitations that places on them -- namely that they have no right to do anything but ask a customer to leave the store if they don't like his behavior, or hold him with minimal force on reasonable suspicion of shoplifting while they call the police (and risk the civil suit if they detained somebody who didn't shoplift, which is why most stores -- and I'm certain CC must have a similar policy -- require either an eyewitness of shoplifting or video of the act, as well as continuous monitoring of the suspect to the point of exit, before accusing them).

I have to say it IS a fascinating case to discuss, if only because it reveals how many people are eager to comply with any pseudo-authority who asks them to do something trivial. The beauty of that is, as any psychology student knows, once you've agreed to comply with a minor act, you're dramatically more likely to comply with any subsequent requests, no matter how much more significant they become. Once we're used to saying "yes", it becomes very hard to change and say "no".

I'm certain I recall a TV show (Penn & Teller? or some BBC programme) even doing something similar to this in a retail setting -- requiring patrons to comply with ever more ridiculous requests to show how susceptible they are to both the approval of authority and their unwillingness to break the pattern of acceptance. By the end you had people embarrassing themselves on national television for no reason other than somebody was telling them to.

The classic of course was Milgram's experiment showing most people would be perfectly willing to electrocute a stranger if told to do so by a person in authority, so long as the shocks started out small and gradually built up.

So for those of you who say "hey, it's not like he's being asked to do something big" and "why don't you worry about real problems like Guantanamo", Milgram proved decades ago that it is precisely this kind of small blind acceptance of authority that leads to those bigger problems. If we had a country full of people unwilling to show receipts or provide small electric shocks, we'd also have a country full of people unwilling to accept torture of prisoners or the existence of Guantanamo.

After all, we accept when teaching our children that it's the small things that show real character. Anyone can be polite to the President when they meet him, it doesn't mean they're a nice person. But when you're rude to a waiter, THAT shows who you really are inside. Teach your children that it's wrong to steal a pack of gum and they'll be less likely to embezzle millions of dollars from a retirement fund later in life. You can't wait until they're 45 and thinking about embezzling to decide it's a "big enough" issue to start teaching them about right and wrong.

Signs are shit. The roller rink sign says skate at your own risk, guess what when you get hurt , they are responsuble, because it happened on their property.
Most auto repair places have a sign that says not responsible for theft or damage done to your vehicle on our property. My old boss paid for a lot of theft and damage done to vehicles because it was on his property.

You love to compare people to Nazis for the smallest slights in your eyes. That just makes you look like an overreacting paranoid. What can I say, I guess I just don't see many parallels in Circuit City and the Third Reich.

And I have no doubt you'll retort by saying that you're a Jew and you had family, and how dare I infringe on your ability to parade yourself as a victim of something that happened to somebody else. Well, you already did, so you can spare it.

Cops are control freaks with a gun? My god, what a small minded sweeping generalization. I've had quite a lot of experience with the police, from my various jobs in security, as well as being harassed by them when working for the carnival, and being arrested by them and taken to jail.

Cops are individuals, just like anyone else. To lop them all into the same category such as "control freaks with a gun" really isn't fair.

Research on the guy will show you that he loves to make a stink over something stupid. He did not want to just get home, regardless of what his story claims. This is evidenced by other things he's done that are similar.

I guess you want to be him when you grow up, fb.

From his story the big deal would have been that he had a legal right to not allow them to search his bag if he didn't want to, and they wouldn't take that for an answer. The store employees were not legally allowed to hinder his leaving, as the story said that they did.

If they are so worried about their customers being thieves they can order transpartent bags, then they can see what is in the bag at glance without having to search them.

I haven't had a chance to read all of the posts, but I would ask this:

Are you willing to continue to shop at these stores, if they need to raise their prices to cover the cost of all the actual items that are really stolen by real shoplifters? Because if you render the stores helpless to go after real shoplifters, someone will need to incur the charges for these stolen items. I can guarantee you, it won't be the store, or their corporation.

I am not sure of the legality of whether a store can ask for a receipt, but as a personal opinion only, if I go to a private business & set my feet through their doors, I would expect to follow their rules. If I don't want to follow their rules, I simply will not shop there.

Are you aware, that by now, your picture has probably been posted in every circuit city in your region, or the entire country, pronouncing you, as unwelcome in that chain? Most stores post that they reserve the right to refuse service for any reason they deem appropriate.

If you do win this case, and get lots of money from circuit city, congratulations. In the future, the prices we all pay there will be higher to make up for your ideals.
