So you’re cheerfully capitulating to someone infringing your 4th Amendment right to be secure in your “persons, houses, papers and effects?” If you’re in Rio Linda, effects is your property. You own the goods you’re removing legally from the store. Forcing you to prove it is another step sliding down the slippery slope to tyranny.
In our legal system, we are innocent until PROVEN guilty. It’s the stores job to prove your guilt, not your job to prove your innocence.

I see your point. But please note that the 4A only protects you against the government. It does not protect you against private companies.
This is true with the 1A’s free speech protection as well. The government cannot stop me from saying “Biden is terrible” while I’m standing on a public sidewalk. I have free speech. But Ford sure can stop me from saying “Ford cars are terrible” when I’m standing on a Ford dealership’s property.
That’s where property rights kick in.
