If the incident took place in an auto parts store, then why did BofA release the photo if it did not take place there? I believe someones civil rights are being violated. This man should sue BofA and AV Times. Am I wrong? Please tell me.

Unfortunately many businesses, like many people, are prone to “voluntary cooperation.” BofA gave the photo to law enforcement, which takes it beyond their control. There is no restriction on them doing so. Using their ATM is effectively a waiver of any right to privacy.
As to law enforcement releasing the photo to the public, they are almost certainly operating withing department guidelines. If the guy can prove that they were wrong in connecting “guy at ATM” to “guy in auto parts store” AND that their error was unreasonable or malicious or both then he may have grounds for a complaint…but it is most likely that some witness said “that guy just came from the ATM over there” and that witness and/or the victim and/or other witnesses have IDed the photo as the suspect. It seems unlikely that the sheriff’s just took it into their head to request ATM photos from the bank.
