Rights Violation or a Complete Jerk?

[Munkay]

Problem here is that this guy was detained by the CC employee and manager after he left the property. In general the big box stores built in these strips (which is where the majority of CC's are located) don't have any right to detain people in their parking lots. These lots are not owned by the stores, they are maintained by the owners of the properties which the stores are renting from.

We're in agreement then:)

My post was agreeing with Nystul that it shouldn't have spilled over into the parking lot and the man's car. You have a split second to decide at the door if you should prevent them from leaving the doors, or let them go. Once they are out the door, its either call the police and review tape or let it go. I was merely pointing out that I agree with the sentiment of grab the guy at the door, but the reality of our day and age (and of corporate policy) is to let the man walk out if he refuses verbal commands.

Cheers,
