Ok here goes people.
since I retired I work part time in a hotel as a night auditor, tuesday night an officer came in and asked to see the hotel registry of guest, because one of our guests looked at him " strangely" ( officers words ) . I told him no not without a warrant .
I explained that under hospitality laws I could not allow him to look at the registry without the warrant, as hotel guest information is private and protected under the 4th and the 5th amendment,, good so far..
now wednesday night another officer came in and gave me a statute law that basically said the police could obtain information on any vehicle that is parked on our property.
I explained that the first officer did not ask for information on a guest vehicle but wanted to see the hotel registry, which I legally cannot do without a warrant,
what is going on here?? it desn't make sense for a cop to want guest information because of a "strange " look but then to have them come back on a vehicle law doesn't make sense to me..
what do you all think??
