Store personnel have a limited right to detain someone they reasonably believe shoplifted in order to conduct an investigation or contact law enforcement. This is known as a "shopkeeper's privilege" and is not considered false imprisonment as long as the detention is reasonable in duration and manner. However, store personnel can still be liable if they detain someone without reasonable suspicion or use excessive force.
