Weell,  before my eyes glazed over, it looked like the few who objected to a

bag search were the ones to make it a lively animated rant  discussion.

 

Seriously,  I cannot see how this circular discussion keeps up the momentum.

The same points keep going around and around and around

You love it or you wouldn't still be here..

it's not a rant, it's a civilized discussion between people, exchanging opinions and exploring ideas. 😉

Yeah, it is a terrible job they have, I also feel sorry for the shop assistants that are told to badger customers when it is so obvious the shopper wants to be left alone.

 

I wonder if nero has a handbag?

I actually find it offensive when I go into a store, and before I can have a look around, the sales people are hovering...

"Can I help you"? Sheesh, I have no idea yet, but I promise you that if I want to ask a question or for some help that I will ask.

IMO, shop assistants should be like waiters, there, but unobtrusive and available the second I require their assistance. I hate needing help and then can't find anyone to help me. That irks me big time.

Even in Myer the other day, I was at the Dior counter, I had questions about Dior products, the only person I could hunt down was from Estee Lauder, she was "covering the floor" she knew less about the Dior products than I did FGS!

Could be a while then?

Myer Stores Ltd v Soo [1991]

However, Where a person enters a place under certain conditions, and if that ciondition is not met, then they may not be able to claim they were falsely imprisoned. (Balmain New Ferry Co. Ltd v Robertson)

False imprisonment occurs when a person, by a direct act, totally deprives another person of freedom of movement, without lawful justification or excuse.

If a sign is displayed informing you that a term of condition for entering their premises is a bag inspection, then you agree to that condition if you proceed to enter that store. Therefore, if, upon leaving you refuse a bag inspection, they do have justification, because you have already agreed to do it. Consequently, it is not false imprisonment and a lawyer wouldn't even entertain such a case to earn him any fee of value, farless secure any financial gain for his client.

Contrary to belief, lawyers don't just take on a case because somebody asks them to, they have to actually have a case, or they can be penalized for wasting the Court's time. That is enough to have them disbarred for failuer to adhere to the Solicitors/Barristers rules of ethical conduct.
