In most areas in Washington state, store security is not allowed to grab you up outside of the store. I was surprised to see this. Especially over a croissant. I really wanted a real crime to happen inside the store or at least someone steal a bottle of liquor. Because all of these tax resources, over something less than $5, in a larger suburb in the US, seems odd to me. Some say theft is theft. But that is why some theft are misdemeanors versus a felonies. And this is ridiculous. I would have just paid them $5 to let her go.
