The employee was well within his rights to refuse to an unlawful search of his vehicle and Disney should not be allowed to fire him for his refusal to submit to an unlawful search.

Are you speaking about Florida Rights or our Rights under the U. S. Constitution?

I’m not a lawyer, but I was referring to the section of the law I quoted which says that a search for the purpose of discovering firearms must be done by on-duty law enforcement personnel.

I suppose the right guaranteed in the Constitution could apply as well though. That one would lbe a little trickier though as the issue of whether or not Disney is truly exempt from the law would have to be decided. If Disney is not exempt from the law, then attempting to search someone’s vehicle for the express purpose of finding a weapon that person was legally authorized to store there would definitely constitute an ‘unreasonable’ search.

I was thinking about this on the drive to work this morning. Ultimately it doesn’t matter one way or another as Florida is a ‘right to work’ state and Disney can pretty much fire anyone for any reason they like. Even if the guard was able to show that his employment was wrongfully terminated and a judge ordered Disney to hire him back he wouldn’t last long before they would be able to fabricate some reason to get rid of him again.
