She stole $1281 of stuff over multiple shopping trips.

Target can ID faces and track thefts across multiple store trips.

One thing that any would be shoplifter should take away from this is NEVER steal from Target. Target waits and tallies up what a person has shoplifted until that dollar value exceeds what is required to charge them with felony theft, in Florida‘s case a dollar value greater than 750, and then has that person arrested.

i feel like you just told us the inverse. Shoplift from target, just figure out what a felony in your area is and take less than that first though.

Not legal advice:

I would limit to half of it to be safe.

Lol, I guess you’re right, not really what I was going for but to each their own.

Relevant video. Somewhat mind blowing.

I've heard that target waits until you hit some amount that makes it a felony then busts you hard

Which basically means you can steal from target, but only once.

[–] Ghostalmedia 4 points 9 months ago

Yeah, there is usually a dollar amount that you need to hit in order for charges to actually be meaningful in a number of states. For example, in CA you need to steal over $950 for a judge to have the option to make it a felony. If it’s under $950 it’s a slap on the wrist.
