"We reserve the right to check all bags" -- Hofbrauhaus
So, I was at the Hofbrauhaus in southside last night and upon leaving, I see a sign that I didn't see upon entering (it was turned in such a direction that I could not see it upon entering). "We reserve the right to check all bags" in very large print on a plastic, permanent sign. Needless to say this pissed me off instantly. I am wondering the legalities of this.
Hofbrauhaus is a large German style micro-brewery / restaurant in the southside of Pittsburgh.
It seems they are looking for glassware thieves, but this seems very very shady for many reasons.... "omg he's got a gun" is only one of those reasons.Last edited by archangel689; August 17th, 2009 at 05:59 AM.

Still, can they just check your bag? If you want to leave, and they want to check your bag, they can't hold you there any longer than you want to be there.
Some say that his discharge is luminous.

I didn't know that they had the right to check your bag to begin with.

There are no legalities. If you are on their land, or wish to be there, you submit to the conditions by your own free will. You are free not to go there and you are free to leave if you dont like the conditions a property owner has made.
I can require that you open carry your guns and dress up like Laura Croft, then require that your purse be searched as part of the permission to be on my property.

Re: "We reserve the right to check all bags" -- Hofbrauhaus
They have a sign positioned in such a way that I couldn't see it UNTIL I WENT TO LEAVE--that they "reserve the right to search you." What if I refuse to be searched? Are they going to DETAIN ME ILLEGALLY?
I BELIEVE they are. It looks like they are looking for folks stealing glassware. Wait until they pull a FN FAL out of mary poppin's handbag.... lolLast edited by archangel689; August 17th, 2009 at 10:27 AM.

FTW!
Using "Trespassing" laws, you (as a property renter/owner) can set whatever rules or guidelines you choose to set on *your* property. If people fail to comply, you can eject them from your property (once again, using "Trespass" laws).
However, asking you (possibly making you, if things escalate) to leave (the property) is as far as this "law" extends. If you fail to leave, you can accrue guilt of more and more severe "trespass" crimes (I think they go up to class A misdemeanor? - I'm not sure), some of which you can be arrested and jailed for.
