I was physically restrained by 4 Walmart employees, and convicted based on blatant lies from the LP manager (who legally counts as a “professional witness,” meaning her word is literally law) and a petty larceny effectively bars you from employment for 7 years.
What I “stole?” I was having a bad mental health day and missed a $5 pair of sunglasses on a $2-300 shopping trip.
When the judge started to say “no intent,” she cut the judge off and hollared how she watched me remove the tag “and that’s intent if I ever saw it.”
Never mind that the picture SHE BROUGHT TO COURT still had it attached, because PrOfEsSiOnAl WiTnEsS hUrRdUrR.
Yep. Obviously I tried to pay for them and pointed out I spent over $200 like fuck $5, but after she started scrambling and lying in court I think she was probably just bad at her job and desperately trying to get any convictions she could to avoid losing it.
Yeah it is in my state as well. What a lot of corpos do is track theft though until they have enough incidents to exceed that threshold. This is tracked via loyalty cards, card numbers, facial recognition, and license plate readers.
Umm let’s see, PVM’s (Public view monitors) are those pole mounted cameras that say “RECORDING IN PROGRESS” or something along those lines, they’re programmable. Are $1,000 cameras that just show what they see. They have no recording capability but they can feed the video into a DVR. The same can be said for the overhead cameras in NCR fastlane units.
The in screen cameras piping the video feed to a DVR is probably live by now. My time as a tech was exclusively in the independent space.
