Many lots (like schools and factories) have signs that say parking there gives consent to search. Other businesses have employees sign consent to search vehicles as part of being hired.Including illegal search and seizure? It is your property but a locked compartment of my vehicle is very much mine. Somebody mentioned entering your property is immediate consent for search but no case law was cited. If this is true however it seems a bit asinine. That is all I am getting at nothing more nothing less, I simply do not understand the laws regarding all this. To apply this to work case scenario, by choosing to work I give up some of my rights. I shouldn't have to give up any of my rights because I choose not to take a hand out, but instead choose to work and take care of my responsibilities.
So I guess the most simple question I have is am I giving consent for search when entering any private parking lot (referring strictly to a business as that is what the law is applying to) until the new law goes in to effect? If this only applies to employees what about customers of the business? So if those two could be cleared up I am done making myself look a fool.
If it's not posted and you haven't signed an agreement to consent to search, you are not automatically consenting to a search. You can consent to one when asked, or you can be asked to leave(or they could just say ok and go about their day)
This isn't about an employers right to search your vehicle though, this is about a property owners right to choose how their property is used and by who. Enforcement of that is something completely different.
