I'm from Washington State.
I didn't know where else to post this question, so I hope it's not inappropriate to ask it here.
Is it lawful for a movie theatre to demand a search of ones purse before entering where the movie screen is? There is a sign at the ticket takers window stating if I do not want my purse searched to leave it in the car. Their "business policy" states that they will do a search and because they reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, they can get away with this.
I say that no "business policy" can override unlawful searches; or has the privacy issue gone down the tubes?
TIA for any information...one way or the other.
