What is the name of your state? Texas
On what grounds do department stores usually discount stores: Costco, Best Buy, Fryes, Walmart, etc. hold the right to physically search their customers, with no reason to believe a crime has been commited, as you leave their place of business? Do the search and seizure laws, which our police are held to not apply to the private secter in regards to merchandise that has been paid for and legally is the property of the person leaving the store?
Thank you,
Gary and Martha Swarm
