Sandra was weak. She let the caller steer the situation from the moment she said hello. He wouldn't even have had the girl's name if Sandra hadn't been so "helpful": "You mean Becky?" (Likewise, he wouldn't have been able to spin the drug raid story if Becky hadn't volunteered "You mean my brother?") We were shown early on that Sandra is incompetent and insecure. She sees this as a chance to redeem herself, by being a good citizen and helping out the police. She didn't try to protect her employee; she didn't even protect her crew/the store by saying "We're in a rush and I don't have time for this." There was nothing she wouldn't do if he asked. I wonder how long this would have gone on if the maintenance guy hadn't reacted as he did. Until closing? If someone didn't catch on during the call, I wonder how the caller ended things.
People should know their rights. Fifth amendment says you don't have to answer any questions if you're not under arrest, and that if you are under arrest, you don't have to answer any questions without an attorney, to which you also have a right. If you have no answers to give, or if someone's badgering you, like the caller did Becky ("You don't know? You don't knooooooooow! Ha!") that's when you say "I take the Fifth." Fourth amendment forbids unreasonable search and seizure, and unreasonable would include not being under arrest. It's not a question of strip search OR arrest; you have to BE under arrest before you can be searched. Furthermore, in order to arrest you, a cop has to either catch you in the act, or get a warrant. And jailhouse cops don't 'decide how many hours you're gonna spend in jail". You get booked, then you stay in a cell until someone bails you out. There are real cops who sometimes disregard these rights, too. (Oh, and the eighth amendment prohibits "cruel and unusual punishment". Which this certainly was.)
