If the store owner has the video goods on ‘em...such as them walking out with a fifth tucked under their arm, that should be enough...no verdict required.
Thieves probably do not revisit the store (even for non-theft purposes) because they have been alerted that someone knows who they are, and thus would still be liable to prosecution. I don’t think it’s a shame factor as much as a likelihood of getting caught factor.
Yep. Instead of labeling them with a picture, I’d just run the video of the thief over and over in the store. That’s not slander, it’s fact. Let the shoppers draw their own conclusions.
It might also discourage other folks thinking about stealing.
