Cops mistakenly thought they had been granted permission to enter private property and conduct inspections.
Manager says to leave.
Cops leave.
Sorry, should have read: "Cops leave and regroup at nearest Krispy Kreme to discuss."
I think you miss the point of the article. That is, cops wanted to inspect vehicles without probable cause on the off chance that they would nab a stolen one. That, my friend, is a violation of my fourth ammendment rights (yours too if you assert them). The fact that the cops would even develop such a plan shows us just how much reverence they have for our Bill of Rights.
