And if a company threatens to use their "right" as a private business to coerce you, threaten criminal complaints pursuant to 18 USC 242 Deprivation of Rights under color of law.
I think deprivation of rights under color of law applies to anything an agent of the government does to you, not a private entity that employs you. I could be wrong, because I believe most legislation to be unconstitutional.
From Cornell
"Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death."
Says under color of law. That would definitely include police and sheriffs. I don't think companies can make their own laws (ideally that would be the case). Companies would run afoul of employment laws if they try to fuck with their people.
As an aside, I think families that have lost loved ones to police acting like brown shirts should sue for deprivation of rights under color of law. To hell with the police brutality shit, make them live in fear like they do to us. This is the best and strongest tool available to us to attempt to slow their bullshit down.
Well if they're doing it because the federal government is making them through coercion or otherwise..
