Not sure if it applies here but there was a young YOUTUBER posting a video warning her friends that “Walmart plays the long game.”
She explained that Walmart doesn’t arrest you for checking out while hiding some purchase from payment. They record you stealing over and over again until they get into the higher penalty bracket (sentencing) based on value of the items stolen and THEN they arrest you.
I wonder if that’s what’s going on here because, I am not sure but I don’t think the police normally respond to a shoplifter in time to meet them while they are still checking out? So maybe she hid some items from payment and she’s either over a limit they waited for (multiple visits/thefts) or they think they can prove through prior videos she always steals by putting products in her purse, and that if she did it today it’s theft prior to leaving? I dunno?
When the video begins there are already goods thrown around the floor behind her and she is yelling, “Yes, I did. Yes, I did.” She then proceeds to grab more goods off the shelves and throw them around.
My guess is that she had started having a temper tantrum before the video started, the officer asked her if she had thrown the goods on the floor, and she responded “Yes, I did.”
