Find answers to your legal question.





Can a worker at a store in the mall legally take your purse and go through it if she THINKS?

You stole something.

if she didn't see with her own eyes, but thought you were could she take it and go though it.

And can she detain you until a cop comes?

Firstly, you haven't specified anything, were talking law here, you didn't even say what she things you did.

Generally however, they CANNOT go through your purse. They CAN detain you until an officer of the law arrives.


I would appreciate a best answer

No, she can't force you. She has to wait for a cop, who would have the right to search it due to probable cause.

It's usually in your best interest to volunteer for the search. If you stole something it's going to be found and this just makes life easier for everyone involved.

She can detain you, that's legal.

Searching your purse, that's iffy.
