Man arrested for refusing to let Circuit City check his bag & reciept…
(This is not a joke)
I found out about this on slashdot.org and felt it merited “forwarding” via my blog to folks who may find this story interesting.
“Michael Righi was arrested in Ohio over the weekend after refusing to show his receipt when leaving Circuit City. When the manger and ‘loss prevention’ employee physically prevented the vehicle he was a passenger in from leaving the parking lot, he called the police, who arrived, searched his bag and found he hadn’t stolen anything. The officer then asked for Michael’s driver’s license, which he declined to provide since he wasn’t operating a motor vehicle. The officer then arrested him, and upon finding out Michael was legally right about not having to provide a license, went ahead and charged him with ‘obstructing official business’ anyways.”

Wow. Hope the charges against him are dropped. Oh, no, the NSA’s at the door!

David: Tell Karen to stop bugging you while you’re on the ‘net.
