Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether, as private corporations and law enforce-
ment agencies increasingly cooperate to investigate
and prosecute retail crimes, the distinction between
State and private actors has blurred and this Courts
review is necessary to provide guidance to the lower
courts review of Tennessee 's agency law and to address
important questions of public interest about the con
stitutional protections afforded to citizens who are
subject to search or seizure by private loss prevention
employees? (Does Tennessee 's agency law give private
loss prevention employees the right to infringe upon
United States citizens Constitutional Rights?)

Question Presented (AI Summary)
