I work in Asset Protection and most of the time we will receive a subpoena/request for records and they will state we can either send a Certificate of Records summarizing your qualifications and the evidence provided, and if one is not returned they may reach back out to request testimony regarding the evidence turned over. Otherwise there's no guarantee the files are authentic and/or accurate. On occasion for larger/unique cases they may call in the AP Leader or whoever made/ran the stop/Investigation on the subject, but it's not like cashiers are going to court every time someone pockets a steak lol

We should just go back to the days where people doing bad things were actually punished instead of given the power to sue everyone

In our small town here in the Philippines only a month back, a thief was apprehended & beat up by the store clerks. No charges for any of those who mauled the perp. Now that's a good way to handle shoplifting!

Recently, in my community, I saw two guys run out of a local grocery/retail store with a new garbage can full of new stuff, but they were immediately arrested by local police. I only saw it happen once and I shop there weekly. Very little is locked up in stores in my area. I don't understand why the local government puts the responsibility of law enforcement on the store. Unprofitable stores will close, and then the government will have less to tax.

The reality is we would need to pump more funding into the criminal justice system in order to process and prosecute all crimes. Are you willing to ask Congress to adjust their budget allocations or are you willing to pay additional taxes? We need to get the funding from somewhere. As it currently stands, many court cases are crazy backlogged and it can take weeks or months before a trial takes place. If I were wrongfully accused of a crime I did not commit and I couldn’t make bail and had to wait it out in county jail until the matter can be resolved by a judge, I would be absolutely miserable and terrified of dying in county jail. All because city resources were tied up prosecuting misdemeanor offenses. Is it right? No, absolutely not. Criminals should be punished. But it’s going to require a heck of a reform across the entire system in order to start prosecuting every enforceable crime. And bear in mind court cases usually take multiple days for arraignment, motions to delay a case, or if a lawyer has to reschedule due to conflicting schedules, plus jury selection, etc. This is all before it goes to trial. And in between that prosecution will be negotiating with defense for a plea bargain because settling this out of court saves the city (aka tax payers) money. Operating a trial costs money. And we would need to build more courtrooms just to have space to process these cases. And hire more prosecutors, cops, detectives, public defenders, county jail staff, etc in order to process all these extra people.

It was while doing the research for the essay on the consequences of shoplifting and the history of shoplifting that I discovered the legal shoppers suffered because of my stupidity. This one brush with the law thankfully opened my eyes and I have never committed a crime since then. Sadly for some businesses the only course of action is to permanently shutting down the stores with high shoplifting which hurts those who need the products the stores sell.

They can't prosecute theft if nobody presses charges. It's like there was no theft and that's what the stores are doing. They aren't prosecuting because the employees would have to show up for court instead of working.

I worked as a front end cashier for Walgreens. I had people come in and simply help themselves to whatever they wanted whenever they felt like it. daily theft of feminine hygene products, razors, hair dye, whatever, I was told to simply ignore them, which I did until I was held up at gunpoint at closing and the manager refused to come out of the back room where he was counting the deposit. He stated it never happened because no cash was taken, however that was an impossibily because the cash drawer was in the back room. Managment ignored my request for a sit down meeting, the police were never called, the take was : It never happened: the guy was just hanging out because it was cold out, and "he was waiting for the bus", despite camera footage which clearly showed the incident: IT NEVER HAPPENED!! The next working day I called in Dead. The manager said :"You can't quit like this! Whose going to do all the work?" I said "I guess you are. Goodby now." Why Walgreens will go down in flames, incompetance, idiocy, living in an alternate universe.

How many times have you gone to a store to buy something that they don't have in stock? So you walk down the aisle, the batteries you want are not there then you turn around to walk out. So how does that receipt thing work in that instance?

The guy in the black hoodie behind the reporter is waiting for everyone to leave so he can shoplift his share.

Speaking from personal experience, this is just one of the reasons many shoppers just want to buy everything online. I don't want to have to call and wait to get basic items unlocked from a case. I also don't want to be exposed to criminals that are grabbing things and running. I just have everything I need delivered.

Japan's crime rate is low because their society values social harmony over all else. Regardless of what the legal system says, Japanese society assumes criminals are guilty until proven innocent. Prosecutors have been caught faking evidence to maintain the country's high conviction rate, which has resulted in at least 1 wrongful execution (likely many more). And because society values harmony over all else, police and prosecutors will "let things slide" to keep the peace.

Another great contribution by the black community to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature makes them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their family values and parenting skills. Their child-rearing practices and skills mixed with their unparalleled work ethic are second to none. Their rationale and logical thought toward circumstances coupled with their innate capability to de-escalate situations is to be envied. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people.

Without their industrious and creative drive, we would be poorer as a nation.
