power to enter your house without a warrant just to make sure your possessions aren't stolen goods or indeed there isn't anything else illegal there..don't complain.

There was a day not too long ago when shopkeepers where happy to see their customers and treated them with respect and didn't automatically think that everyone should be checked for theft. Remember...mom and pop shops.

Now it's creeping corporatism and it looks like a lot of people don't even see what's happening under their noses.

Your'e not looking at the ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM...the cop who sided with the store and arrested someone for absolutely no reason and gave a completely false and illegal reason.

It ain't full blown Facism...just a tiny step on the way.

## PS..about 40 years ago something similar happened to my mother like this..she was stopped and asked to produce goods and receipts...she sued for libel and the shop settled for about $1500..big money then. And there were never signs saying they had the right to search your bags.
AND MY MUM WAS A STORE DETECTIVE.
