“If I was alone, you are right. As I said in my first response, the key word here is “some”.
If they all had receipts, there would have been no excuse for cops to detain them.”
It’s a clear rights violation, imo. I hope they retain lawyers. I’ll bet “some” is just media inaccuracy. I think all of them could prove they just paid, either with a paper receipt, or with bank transaction records.
Well, they have the right to try, I suppose.
