No, the store can't legally detain you for anything that isn't a

If the store had a rule that you had to dance a jig before leaving and
you chose not to do it, could they detain you? Nope.

And they can't detain you for not getting your receipt inspected, either.

Don't quit your day job to open a law practice, sonny.

LOL! I already am a lawyer, boyo. I've practiced criminal law for years.

But if you think I'm wrong, then by all means, pony up the legal
citation that says that a store can detain you merely for a violation of
their rules (absent any violation of law).

This ought to be good.

You (and a few others here) think you know what the law is.

And amazingly enough, I do.

Think again. If you hadn't
persisted in your ramblings on the subject, I'd have simply written you
off as a garden variety troll. The fact that you cross posted your
incoherent ramblings to so many newsgroups tends to support that
conclusion.

I didn't cross-post anything. I didn't start this thread. I merely hit
the "reply" button. Whatever groups were posted originally, got replied
to.

But now I think that you may be brain damaged - maybe it is
the crystal meth. You might want to consider giving that stuff up.

Oh, wow. Schoolyard name-calling. And it's not even very creative.

Well done.
