You are violating the contract between you and the store.

No. The contract was completed at the point of sale. If they wanted to check my bags, they should have done it before the sale (and thus the contract) was completed.

The contract is completed when you leave the property. If there is a sign at the door or on the back of the receipt that says when the ontract is completed.

You don't check bags before a sale. They are filtered at the check out stand. The question is what can happen after that. Also, some can have a store bag and walk out without going through the check out stand.

Shoplifitng is effected by you leaving the store without paying. What does that have to do with anything that happens earlier?Are you really this naive or are you just looking to waste time?
