1:bag searches in dept stores like wollys bla bla bla can only be conducted if your permission is given
2:They can ask you to stay and not leave the store but they cannot detain you as that constitutes as being held against your will=federal offence.
3:Being asked/signs /placards to take your helmet off in a servo is a store policy/requirement not legislated law to which you don't have to abide to.Alternatively if they refuse payment than the onus is on them as you tried to pay and made a reasonable attempt to finalise the transaction,waving money around in front of a camera would give you the proof you need.
It happened to me at a caltex service station where the manager called the cops cause i did not want to take my lid off when I entered the store.
I waited outside(my helmet is off now)for the tax collectors to turn up as I wanted to prove a point, when they did the manager walked out and said that he is not serving me cause blablabla.I let him say his piece and then asked(cops) if and where is it written in the Aussie constitution...tick tock......tick tock.......no answer from the goon squad ,didn't have one!!!!!
I was politely asked to pay for my fuel and to carry on with my day,so i put my helmet back on,walked back in (cops looking on) paid while the dipshit manger fumed through his reticulated anal.
The reason I pushed the envelope is cause for a good 18 months I used this same servo and we got to know the girls behind the counter and had the occasional joke and conversation but when this new ass wipe started working not only did half of the staff walk out voluntary but also customers complained of his regimental way of running things and lack of personal skills,he apparently ran a servo in butt fcuk nowhere where he was treated like a little biatch by the local red necks who where not wearing a burqa.
Its all about courtesy and the policy has merits but it seems that you are discriminated against as you are assumed to be a criminal by wearing a helmet.I still wont take my helmet off as i have copped a loadful of head colds when that sudden change happens.
