How do you equate a regular hanging out of 400 teenagers as "Expected customers"?
Customers are usually IN THE STORE or WALKING TO THEIR CAR or WALKING HOME.
They don't hang out in mass like an attack of pod people in front of the store for periods of time!
Hopefully the misdemeanors carried nice fines to pay for most of the expenses they caused.
That's exactly my point. The cops didn't seem to investigate/reconoiter the scene. They just showed up and took everyone, even those walking to their cars it seems. No consideration given to due process, no consideration for reasonable suspision, they just showed up and netted everyone.
I have no problem with business owners protecting their property as that is their right. I just think the cops were too damn indiscriminate with regards to individual rights.
