I got this article from slashdot. It's about a young man who shops at a Circuit City here in the Cleveland area, specifically Brooklyn (a Circuit City that I've been in myself) and the crap he has to go through because he chose not to confrom to the store's made-up law regarding having his bag and receipt checked upon exiting the store. Just this morning, I spent 100 bucks at Best Buy, but the doorman didn't bother me as I exited.
I haven't stepped into a Circuit City since the days they were trying to push their DRM music and movies, but what's more interesting is that the arresting officer took the side of the store, and didn't handle the situation as diplomatically as he could have, then still charged the young man after seeing that no crime had been committed. I could see the store manager having a point if the alarms went off, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
