Time for a strike?

On one hand, yes. On the other hand that’s only as enforceable as a tenant can fight it.

Trespass to land is a tort, which means there’s the potential for monetary damages.

I guess that kinda depends on the business structure. Are they fully owned and operated by the main corporation? Or are they licensees of the store’s name and brand? If it’s the first one, some humdrum middle manager could do what you said. If it’s the later, those surveillance things could be trespassing.

Even if they are tenants to a lease, the doctrine of quiet enjoyment would prohibit a landlord from being able to freely agree to having police property sitting on the store’s parking lot if their lease covers the parking lot. It’s kinda like renting a house with a yard: your lease is for the house and the yard surrounding the house. A landlord cannot just come on top the lawn and start ripping it up without the tenant’s permission.

the stores are like we hate them as well but the cops put them there.

If they’re on a store’s parkinglot, they’re trespassing if they’re there without the store’s consent. That means they can be removed.

Were Boomers in power then? Ah, yeah they took over sitting as president after Regan, so like late 80s/early 90s. They’ve been sitting as president since, and they’re the most spoiled generation there has ever been. So, it makes sense they’d ignore anything with consequences later down the line. Everything was handed to them, then they hiked up the ladder behind them.

Does it come with an equivalent to uBlock? Can you port over your bookmarks from firefox?
