In the Mohawk case it is good to see the legal community do some good for once. The Forbes column was a big load of pro-illegal garbage. The case as stated in the article defies the logic of the free market.

It seems to me the better practice would have simply (and repeatedly) if necessary, tell store employees. Usually, a simply PA announcement solves the problem. But, the police went way overboard on this. I hope the DA drops this one like a hot potato.

Try to help a child? I’m a pediatrician, and have made this my career.
Yet being a bit older and wiser than the helpful 13 year old boy, I know better. At the first sign of a lost child I do a quick 180 and get clear.

I happily turn a 180 when it comes to cases like Mohawk. It isn’t the legal strategy I savor, it’s my extreme objection to the soft treatment of illegal immigration. I do hope companies get scared of litigation and tighten their practices.
