    Default Why Don't Store Loss Prevention Officers Need Search Warrants

    Now - I'm glad you brought up that loss prevention are not the police. I have always loved it when I'm working in the LP role and someone says that. Why? Because they have no idea how true that is! Working in LP, I don't have to read you your miranda rights, and anything you tell me is admissible in court. I can continue to question you even after you request an attorney, and again, anything you tell me is admissible in court. And in any search I make of you or your things, whatever I find has no hope of being suppressed, since I'm not a cop and therefore not an agent of the state.
    If you have the power to detain people for the police, then you are an agent of the state. And you definitely need to have a warrant to conduct a search.
