Supermarket receipt generator for Legal

all right what is the local Facebook group sign man I saw a lot of people talking about a new change at the Folsom Walmart there's now a checkpoint at the exit where customers will be asked to get their receipt scan before leaving a bunch of people waited on this some saying what's the big deal if you didn't steal anything just show your receipt others said it takes too long or that it's a breach of privacy and then we saw this a commenter said you do not have to stop there is no law stating as such so is that true can you just not stop and show your receipt at one of those Walmart checkpoints let's verify just start we can say that this is happening at the Folsom Walmart and actually at others in the area not only did walmart confirm it but I went by and saw it happening most people got stopped as they were leaving but not everybody and that's what seemed to most bother Carmen a customer we met who said she had recently been stopped and checked while a few minutes later her husband was not most like you were single and me out for the receive do I look like a thief or what so this so to me was kind of questioned it because you know my husband is white and I'm a Hispanic now a Walmart spokesperson told us that their quote intent is to check every receipt and that ultimately this policy is to help prevent theft which helps keep inventory high and prices low thus keeping customers happy but that didn't answer our question do you have to stop if you don't want to for that we went straight to Folsom PD sergeant Bates directed us to California Penal Code 490 point 5 which says a merchant may detain the customer if the merchant has probable cause to believe the person is attempting to unlawfully take merchandise from the store and shorts bait said to answer your question directly a person would not have to stop unless the merchant had probable cause to believe the person had taken merchandise without paying so with that we can verify our claim it's true you do not have to stop and show your receipt at a Walmart if you don't want to that said it's not so simple I checked him with a local lawyer who has represented clients in these kinds of cases he made it clear that while there was no provision in the law that requires you to stop not stopping could give this or that probable cause they need to ask you to stop and detain you at that point lawyers advices it's best to just show your receipt and wait it out don't try to flee and one more thing if you're wondering wait what about Costco they do it do I have to stop there that's a little bit different because it's a membership service so if you shop there you basically signed on to their terms which means yes you must stop so now you know all right do you have something you'd like us to verify let us know by texting us at nine one six three two one three three one zero
