My question involves criminal law for the state of: Pennsylvania
Last week, while I was shopping at a supermarket, I was approached by 2 cops and escorted to an office to the right of the Customer Service counter.
The 2 cops handcuffed me and said that I was being detained because (according to a store manager) I am suspected of stealing some flowers from the store 3-4 weeks ago. Of course, I DID NOT DO IT. I have never gotten any flowers for anyone in the past 3-4 years. I always shop at this supermarket, at least twice a month, for GROCERIES.
I don't know--maybe I looked similar to whoever it was that did the crime...but again I did not do it.
I was detained in police custody for about 40 mins in the store, and then taken to the police station where I was detained for another 15 mins.
They finally released me because the supermarket did not have any video of me taking anything from their store. And I was told to never return to that supermarket.
So, instead of me attending church prayer's service and doing some work in the church, I lost at least 1 hour out of my night, due to some ridiculous B.S.!!!!
I've already fired off a letter to the corporate headquarters complaining of this unfair treatment, not to mention the embarrassment of being handcuffed AND the mental stress that I had to endure.
Any thoughts?
