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 $2-300 shopping trip.
When the judge started to say "no intent," she cut the judge off and hollared how she watched me remove the tag "and that's intent if I ever saw it." Never mind that the picture SHE BROUGHT TO COURT still had it attached, because PrOfEsSiOnAl WiTnEsS hUrRdUrR.
you went to COURT over 5$ ??
Yep. Obviously I tried to pay for them and pointed out I spent over $200 like fuck $5, but after she started scrambling and lying in court I think she was probably just bad at her job and desperately trying to get any convictions she could to avoid losing it.
Or maybe it just gets her dick hard. Idk.
wow... im pretty sure the minimum is 200$ or something to be considered shoplifiting or illegal or whatever, where i live
Like it's just a civil matter basically unless you hit $X in value? That's pretty chill.
im not sure. just what ive heard. if so, it is indeed cool
