Again: Driver's license, credit cards, debit card, cash, healthcare card, checkbook, medicine, extra shirt, work security card, gum, sunglasses, passport on occasion, ipod, mp3 recorder (for my spanish lessons), cell phone, digital camera on occasion.

Sorry but these things will NOT leave my person. Period.

Another "quasi law" that was an issue a few years back was how our local Kroger chain dealt with shoplifters that were actually caught. I believe their rule was to make the person pay 10 times the amount, so $300 if they shoplifted $30. When in reality you have no obligation to pay this, and have the right to have a police officer come to the store, do the paperwork, and be charged in COURT with shoplifting. Paying the store directly would be the preferred option for most, but the stores interpreted this to the suspects as if it were LAW. (Shoplifters not being too bright to begin with). But someone who truly forgot to pay for something were not given the option to make their case in court. (Unless they were smart enough to know that Kroger is not a city, and you don't HAVE to pay them anything, even if caught shoplifting.

Again, another case of a company making up rules that you are NOT obligated to follow. Knowledge is power.
