Look. Stopping people is time consuming and risky.
They really need a reader that is positioned over a highway that scans everyone’s cards and seizes the money in the accounts.
Every single person.
After all, they’re guilty of SOME crime or another, right?
Laz this is a “no-$hiccup” story ...
Criminal Justice 102 around 1978, My Prof was so proud of telling the story that as a DA he had successfully prosecuted and had a man sentenced to Prison for something that he did not do, because “HE KNEW” (the Prof/former DA) that this man was guilty of another Crime, he repeated the story enough that you knew it was part of the Curricula and would be testable in some form to pass his class.
