lol.... You are not listening to what I am saying. I know he didn’t ‘”have” to do any such thing’ legally. I was saying he “had” to do it in order to avoid a big hassle and in order to not be one of the biggest jack@sses in history.
No, what the manager “had” to do was to restrain himself, and if he suspected that the person was shoplifting (which he even admitted that he didn’t), then he should have written down the license plate, and called police (which he also didn’t).
