What is the specific law in Michigan regarding Shoplifting or Retail Fraud. I was stopped upon exiting a grocery store with the suspicion of shoplifting. The police report states that I was not seen taking anything but was observed in one aisle with an item in my hand and the observed in the next aisle without it. I was not observed taking anything. When the sheriff arrived and upon my arrest asked the managers which one saw me take the item they said none of them did but went by the observations stated above. I thought the the way the law reads is that the person must be observed picking up the item, following the person and actually witnessing him conceal it. This was not the case. I was stopped at the door and asked what I had. I did not say anything and was subsequently arrested. I feel that the stop was illegal, illegal search and seizure and also false arrest. Does anyone know where I can find the specific law on this. Thank You.
