Good point, but the store would then be subject to another reprecussion...? The police show up...search you or worse arrest you on what grounds? Your refusal to be searched without reasonable cause? And is it reasonable? If I recall from my salesclerking days they gotta be able to say what you took, where you put it, and you never lost sight of the 'customer'. At least that was the training way back when.

Yep. They have to decide whether its worth it. The police have to decide whether its worth a court ordered search.

They probably would not. But count on not getting off with warning tickets for speeding anymore. :-)
