What’s the point of “arresting” them if you’re not gonna charge them and just release them in a few hours?
-
these should be reclassed as organized crime. billions are lost, hundreds of thousands of people lose their jobs, stores close all over the country, and yet the people causing this are charged with petty theft.
-
Retail theft will continue until you treat this as if its a crime and actually put people in prison and not just release them over and over.
-
I was law-enforcement officer for only four years. It was heartbreaking to watch you put 12 hours into a case of arresting a group of people and then watch the judge just throw it out and let them go free.
-
Sad part is all this for prosecutors and judges to still not hold them accountable.
-
"If it's $950 or under, it's considered a misdemeanor." We're very aware of your loophole in the system. now we want you to fix it.
-
Interesting how you don't see any Florida cities on the list. Palm Beach has some of the highest value stores as NY and LA but nothing. It was tried and the sheriff's department came down with a vengeance and put a stop to it.
-
Theft should never be tolerated.
-
Shops should make it clear to their employees that they shouldn't stop thefts and are not liable in any way if they do. But if an employee does fight back to stop the thieves, there shouldn't be any repercussions.
-
Those who wrote proposition 47 should be held accountable for letting shoplifters steal up to $950dlls.
-
Theft is criminal and needs SERIOUS PUNISHMENT!!!!
-
On board with this ALL THE WAY! If you work Retail…you know…we’re ALL sick of these thugs!! We ARE put in the middle but have no power to stop the theft! Some employees have even lost their lives! Enough!
-
Remember a week ago when MSNBC was telling us this was a right wing conspiracy?
-
It's so sad for the hard working people!
-
My corner store just got robbed on Wednesday. Three guys work at the store one at a time. 5 dudes walked in masked with hoodies, pulled a gun, took the drawer, two bottles of Hennessy. They then hit the store right up the street took the drawer and a rack of black and milds. No arrests made.
-
The criminals are not afraid of prison and the day they are released is the day the look forward to getting right back to shoplifting.
-
Pointless just re-criminalize petty theft.. again.. Whole problem started there..
-
In Texas, private security firms are helping owners install emergency buttons that locks the doors and calls police.. As soon as a mob theft happens, an employee presses the emergency button. The doors are locked and police are automatically called. Nobody gets out until police arrive and arrests are made.
-
I remember catching a shoplifter working security. The person was carrying a bag from last Christmas season from Victoria Secret. I watched them and saw they had bags from retailers that weren't even in the mall. When I let the boss know we got them in for questioning and as we went through the bags recovered over $2000 in merchandise.
-
Well, they do just let these mobs walk out of the store's front doors unaccosted.
