> Serial NYC shoplifter waltzes free despite staggering 254 arrests <
Maybe NYC has a “300 strikes and you’re out” policy. If so, this guy still has a bit of leeway.
On a more serious note, you gotta feel bad for NYC cops. They put great effort into getting the bad guys off the streets, only to see them walk free.
As for the shopkeepers… maybe it’s best to just get outta Dodge.
I mean, why even bother to show up to arrest someone.
