Question presented

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?)
