    That in itself is a violation of Constutional law. You have a right to privacy, and a right to be free from unreasonable and unwarranted search and seizure of property. It is also illegal to require someone to give up their constitutional rights. Now, with that being said, even though the Constitution us supposedly the supreme law of the land, no party endorsed by Walmart is going to allow you to prove that in court, because let's face it, everything's for sale when walmarts involved

    Nobody forces anyone to work at Walmart Transportation against their will. If you do not like their phone policy, you are more than welcome to seek employment elsewhere. In the realm of large trucking companies, Walmart Transportations phone policy is very liberal.

    So, before you go out on your Walmart bashing bender, understand that there are no chains on any Walmart truck driver. If they are unhappy with any policy, they are more than welcome to leave. Also, before you bash Walmart, please understand their phone policy. It gives you a lot of leeway. Yet, with great leeway comes great responsibility. So, talk when you shouldn't be at your own risk.
     
    TomOfTx Thanks this.

    No one is bashing anyone. But if we aren't willing to stand up for ourselves, no one will. Now, with that said, if I want to apply to Walmart and make it through all the other paperwork and refuse to sign the cell phone policy, and at that point I am denied employment, I'm now legally entitled to a lawsuit for discrimination against them. You see, the law is clear about the Constitution being the supreme law of the land. Websters is clear on the definition of a Creed. Labor laws are clear about protection from discrimination against Race, Sex, Religion, Creed... and so forth and so on. Your constitution is your creed. So you see, by working for Walmart, you prove yourself to be more or less a pushover. You clearly wear the pants in the family, as a wife to a man that doesn't know how to say no.
    Camera's, phone policies, securement rules, safety guidelines. It's all bs. It removes common sense, which isn't common anyway. But remember this. From the moment a human first crawled out of his cave and searched for food, or figured out what fire was, it was in his instinct to preserve life. Safety is instinct. It's natural human instinct. It's not written in a book, or anywhere else. It's common sense. So be American, protect your rights and constitution, and use your own common sense. The only thing your husband proves by giving in, is that his freedoms come for a cheap price. I would die for mine. Because freedom isn't free. Honor your troops by upholding the Constitution that they so selflessly fight to protect. Walmart is the Constitutional Nazis of the modern world. Grow a spine and let them know you stand for something.

    Walmart has rights as well, and your rights do not diminish theirs. Walmart does not have dominion over the phone records of a driver for an outside carrier who makes a delivery to their DC or stores, but they most certainly do have dominion over a driver operating one of their trucks whom they are personally liable for in the event of an accident. The answer to your problem is simple. Go drive a truck with your name on the door, under your own operating authority, and pay your own insurance. Do not give me your BS about your constitutional rights, yet pretend you are the only one with any rights. I will be glad to debate this subject if needed. You can start by referencing the section of the constitution that gives you rights over someone else's private property such as Walmart. Good luck, because you will find no such reference.....period.

    You prove my point. Thanks. Your absolutely right that they have have rights. Your right that the Constitution doesn't state that we have rights over walmarts property. So what gives Walmart the right to have jurisdiction over our property. It's not a company phone. It's not a reimbursed expense. So lets actually start by looking into labor laws. They can't legally require you to waive any right that the law of the land provides you, because as the Constitution reads, these are considered certain unalienable rights, bestowed upon us by our Creator, and of these are the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Your liberties are protected my man, before you were ever conceived. Don't let this world convince you otherwise. And for the record, that's the most clear the Constitution gets, but its not the clause that helps protect us.

    You have no more right to freely use your cell phone while on the private property (truck) owned by someone else than I do to sit on my neighbors front porch doing the same. Your rights do not trump the private property rights of someone else, such as Walmart.

    You may want to actually read the Constitution, because the unalienable rights you speak of are not in the Constitution, but rather a part of the Declaration of Independence.

    Your right about the unalienable rights I spoke of, thanks for the correction. I get miscombobulated between the two in heated discussions, namely because I know them to work hand in hand. But either way, both of them are given to us by people who knew these rights to be of utmost importance and needing to be protected. So they decided to write it up, thereby forever sealing it in place. They cannot be infringed, unless of course if it comes from the courts by way of a warrant or affirmation of oath. But just because it's their property, doesn't mean you give up your rights. I don't hand in my phone when I shop at Walmart. And they don't put cameras inside their changing rooms. So why let them do it in their truck. If you sign taking responsibility for that truck it is now your domain. Just as a rental agreement would protect you under law from infringement from a landlord. Now, if they decide to put computers that Mark the drivers every move, and cameras on the outside, that protects them. But stealing your rights is a no no. Thats no better than digging through someone's trash. You can't gain access to someone's private life by having them sign their rights away anymore than you can gain access to their records if you were Tracy Morgan. Liability has nothing to do with it. They can tell you not to have a phone with a camera, not to bring in firearms, not to share proprietary info, because those things protect their safety and privacy. But your phone has nothing to do with them.

    Now,
    I do believe that if they were to prove that your phone use caused the incident, they could subpoena that evidence. That part is clearly within legal boundaries. But but criminally gaining access to that information makes that evidence no longer submissable in court
