Nice. A precedent was set:
“Our local CVS is currently refusing to release the name of the customer despite being served with a signed search warrant.”
Businesses can now refuse a signed search warrant.
Awesome!
This is a first in America. Not providing video to law enforcement in a criminal matter. Mendocino County, where everything is inside out. Fellow citizens, do not shop at CVS in Fort Bragg.
Correction: refusing to release the name of the shopper. Still a first.
