this is for conspiracy to shop lift misdemeanor not a felony
in rhode island me and my friend was arrested for shop lifting and conspiracy to shop lift. im not gonna sit here and say i am innocent or didn't know but am wondering if they violated my rights
so i gave him a ride and we go into the store in the meet area i am claiming not to know so we go around the store i put in a premade sandwich and cake in the cart he is loading meet askes me to grab him 4 bags of shrimp and some other meats and stuff to put in the cart so he plans to just walk out the door with the carriage and i think he is crazy so as we going down the side towards door area i stop and talk to the deli guy because i am all set with walking out with him. loss prevention is outside the door they grab him and take him to the office(found out after the fact police had already been called by this point)
i am still at the deli counter and two loss prevention guys approach me and tell me to come with them to the office. i opened my jacket and showed them i had nothing on me and told them i wasn't going to the office so one guy grabs my arm and they start trying to herd me over to the office and i am kinda walking and showing them that i have nothing on me and saying i don't want to go to the office pull my arm out the guys hand so the other guy grabs my coat i pull it away and we still walking towards the office then when we get to the office they told me to go in and i panic and ran for the door down the other end. some kid bagging groceries lunged out to grab me as i ran by but i pushed him down with a stiff arm like foot ball as i hurdled over him. i was running so fast i went right past the door and immediately realized i was done so i stopped turned around and said i was done don't touch me but three or four of them tried to take me down then slammed me up against the wall and one guy was yelling calm down do you want to deal with the police they already on their way then two seconds later we still on wall wrestling and a female cop shows up had them back away and asked if i was all done i said yes she said i was being detained cuffed me and put me in the police cruiser.
my whole incident with loss prevention beginning to end lasted about one to two minutes no longer.
what i am wondering with the police already about to show up and me having nothing on me and not trying to walk out of the door should loss prevention have grabbed me or should they just covered the door and grab me if i tried to leave. i already have a bad back and they tweaked it but not here to cry about that with you guys just want to know if they jumped the gun grabbing me like that
if they are in the wrong i would like to try to use it along with a security report i could give them that would save them tons because a lot of people walk out of their stores because they just to easy and i could easy get rid of the no so seasoned shoplifters for them they have like 5 stores in my area and everyone of them is way to easy because of layout and stuff
they could still hang my friend that walked out with the stuff if they wanted to drop my conspiracy for the info i have and not trying to sue
i am calling the store in the morning to see if this is something they would be interested in but i need to know if i have any leverage with the way the loss prevention handled me
thank you for your time
