Go to jail? For what? What is the crime? I would say that at least in the US there would be no such thing for this type of activity. Can you imagine a prosecutor trying to make a case over this?
If you've been asked to leave, the crime would be trespassing.
If you are asked to leave, it would means that you were found, doesn't it?
> if you're found, you go to jail.
If you are found, you lose, you don't go to jail.
I also imagine IKEA has a loudspeaker system. If they announce "please, everyone, store hours are over, leave the IKEA" but you stay hidden, you're trespassing.
Not necessarily. You could be asked to leave with an announcement over the PA system.
Would that be valid legally though? Like how can you know it was targeting you? If they mentions everyone, that could works.
You will still not go to jail though and you can still try to avoid their sight (or else you'll be "found").
- Makes noise that is unreasonable, considering the nature and purpose of the actor's conduct, location, time of day or night, and other factors that would govern the conduct of a reasonably prudent person under the circumstances.
- Creates or maintains a hazardous or physically offensive condition.
You may have forgotten the "flash mob" craze, when people were sometimes rounded up en masse and prosecuted. This also happens when people get rowdy at bars, concerts, parades, political rallies, etc... It's a thing.
The ones arrested that have the means would hire private lawyers and receive deferred prosecution agreements or simply charges dropped.
The ones without the means would be assigned public defenders who would give them 1 hour of time every 2 weeks, just enough to wear them out and accept a plea deal in lieu of going to court.
The 1% that didn't have the means but fought anyways would go to court/trial, and would also have charges dropped before it went that far.
