Here's the original Miami-Dade article, which was printed the day before the one referenced earlier in the thread: http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/11/21/v-fullstory/3769823/in-miami-gardens-store-video-catches.html http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/11/21/v-fullstory/3769823/in... In the original article, the owner explains what he originally thought he was agreeing to - and why: "About three years ago, Saleh said police asked him to participate in what they called a “zero-tolerance” program to reduce crime. He gladly signed up, not realizing at the time how much it would impact his business and customers. Under the program, Miami Gardens police are given broad powers to stop and arrest people who appear to be loitering or trespassing at the participating business. The idea behind the program is based on the “broken window theory,’’ a concept that has been employed by police around the country. The theory holds that a community that rids itself of petty crime, such as shoplifting, vandalism and trespassing, can eradicate more serious crime because criminals won’t have anywhere to hide." This is also the justification for NYC's "stop and frisk" program which has been in the news so much lately. For the record, I'm not a fan.
