I was stopped by store security and charged with stealing a pack of batteries that I brought into the store from home. Security wouldn’t listen to me…what are my rights?
Store security obviously has a different story and believes that you intended to steal the batteries. They could be mistaken. Your options now are to appeal to the store manager to review the allegation and overrule store security or be prepared to defend the charge in court with the aid of a competent attorney. Be sure to obtain evidence of your prior battery purchase and witnesses to back up your story.
