Papers Please: Arrested At Circuit City
One of my pet peeves: receipt and bag checks upon leaving big-box retail stores. Here’s yet another story of a guy unlawfully detained for refusing to kowtow to a rent-a-cop. Worse, when he called the real police for help he was unlawfully arrested for refusing to show his drivers license to the responding officer (something he was not legally required to do). Definitely a guy trying to make a point. He should sue the responding officer personally for violating his civil rights. I’m glad there are people out there willing to do this, while most of the rest of us meekly obey “the authorities.”
Update 9/21/07
Yay! All charges were dropped against this guy!
