Reply #199: How did he resit arrest? Why wasn't he charged with resisting arrest? [View All]

The stupidity is people who give away their constitutional rights. When he paid for the goods the bag and the merchandise became his personal property.

The bag no longer belonged to the store, and the the receipt doesn't belong to the store, and the merchandise doesn't belong to the store.

When they detained him, for not allowing them to search his personal property, they broke the law.

Detaining a shoplifter is essentially a citizen's arrest. The store committed false arrest.

When Rosa Parks refused to abide by the policy of the transit district, and was also arrested. People made the same argument you are making, "If she doesn't like their policy, don't get on the bus."

But it's a spurious argument.
