This entire thread has become ridiculous! Each state has is own unique laws /rules/regulations governing this type of stuff. Thinking you know the laws in your state doesn't do any good if you're in another state. Playing the macho man and spoting off with the "you touch me I'll hurt you, sue you, ..." ain't impressing anyone here. More than likely should an event occur, that mentality won't get you far either. Playing the "ain't no way anyone detaining/searching me..." isn't always the best idea either. Ever think for a second that maybe, just maybe you DON'T know the exact scope of the law. I'm always amazed at how everyone seems to have law school educations. Yes, we live in the United States. However, that doesn't mean that everything you object to is a wrongful act against your rights. So many people are always in a hurry to say that something is a violation of a particular right. Once again...I'm always amazed at how everyone seems to have law school educations. I'm one of us that didn't atted law school. I did however graduate high in my class with a degree in law enforcement and worked for the local police dept. While I'm not educated on the laws of other states, I can tell you that in some places those "non-cops" (private security) gaurds CAN legally detain you under reasonable suspicion and may conduct a search under those same conditions. If you wan't to dispute it, don't bother doing it here. Prove it to all of us by acting suspicious and evasive at the local mall and see what occurs when you set your method of operations into effect with the security.
Oh, hey try flying and got going through the metal detecor or have your luggage get scanned/checked. I don't see any LEO badges on those people. Go ahead just waltz on through and then object to the search and "take them down painfully" You won't be landing in your intended destination.
I'm not a super frequent poster here at THR. I visit multiple times a day but seldom post unless I can offer a different side to a thread, or if no requested info has been given. From reading the threads over time, some members here earned my respect based solely on thier responses. This thread has dispelled a great deal of that respect for a number of people. Granted, none here proberly give a rat's a$$. I really don't either and more than likely the "know-alls" here wouldn't care if it were just them here to brag to each other. Mastrogiacomo...you have my respect!
