CVS

At this CVS location at 1324 San Carlos Ave, San Carlos, CA one of the worst experiences of my life occurred. I quickly went in to buy a drink, doing nothing more than briefly walking past the cold cases and scanning for my drink, which I put in hand and bought. 5 minutes later in a very public location around people who know me I was approached by police and told that a store employee saw me stealing and I was forcefully patted down and my person searched. I absolutely DID NOT and have never stolen in my life. In my mid 40s my record is spotless, not even a misdemeanor charge or driving violation. I was detained for over a half hour and an absolutely complete search of every area I was upon exiting the was conducted for store property that I may have stolen and discarded. The security footage was watched which of course did not show me stealing, concealing items, etc. I was banned from store according to the officer. Profiling is the only possibility and has happened to others there. If the manager stated that I was observed stealing then that is a felony of making a false police report.
