Don't see what this has to do with police. CVS put that up to scare people away, just like they put up that sign that clearly didn't work.

Policing is not just limited to police. Unfortunately, this is an example of quite literal corporate overlording. Soon they will be one in the same, a manifestation of the military-industrial complex, where corporations happily surveil in support of and in tandem with law enforcement.

As a reformed loiterer, I welcome our new Police, Inc. overlords. (/s)

There's a CVS near me with an obnoxious floodlight stand thing with speakers playing some message about how this parking lot is under surveillance. Nothing else like it in the area.
