The answer to this problem is staring retailers in the face. My Local Bobby and TM Eye have had significant success in tackling retail crime across all their beats. Prosecution and conviction is the ONLY effective option. Retailers need to look at their own internal non intervention and non enforcement policies if they really want to stop this tsunami of retail crime and more importantly violence towards their own staff. https://lnkd.in/eGfPNgYM

This kind of mayhem & lawlessness is actually WANTED by liberals pushing a socialistic agenda: its why the liberal elites push for bail reform, soft on crime DA's, and zero bail...; they KNOW eventually everyone will be clamoring for law & order, looking to "big government " for solution. That's when they'll 'claim' that the reason for the lawlessness is due to the inequity between the HAVE's and the HAVE-NOT's. And THAT'S when they'll 'pitch' their solution: an all-equal society where there's just one 'class' who share-the-wealth equally. Sounds good, sounds like it would assuage the HAVE-NOT's but what the elites WON'T say is that THEY THEMSELVES will remain in their "elite" class ABOVE all the rest of society, and the ONLY THING all the rest of us in the 'one-class' will "share" equally will be POVERTY!!!!

UK To Deploy Facial Recognition For Shoplifting Crackdown: Bruce66423 shares a report from The Guardian, with the caption: "The UK is hyperventilating about stories of shoplifting; though standing outside a shop and watching as a guy calmly gets off his bike, parks it, walks in and walks out with a pack of beer and cycles off -- and then seeing staff members rushing out -- was striking. So now it's throwing technical solutions at the problem..." From the report: The government is investing more than 55 million pounds in expanding facial recognition systems -- including vans that will scan crowded high streets -- as part of a renewed crackdown on shoplifting. The scheme was announced alongside plans for tougher punishments for serial or abusive shoplifters in England and Wales, including being forced to wear a tag to ensure they do not revisit the scene of their crime, under a new standalone criminal offense of assaulting a retail worker. The new law, under which perpetrators could be sent to prison for up to six months and receive unlimited fines, will be introduced via an amendment to the criminal justice bill that is working its way through parliament. The change could happen as early as the summer. The government said it would invest 55.5 million pounds over the next four years. The plan includes 4 million pounds for mobile units that can be deployed on high streets using live facial recognition in crowded areas to identify people wanted by the police -- including repeat shoplifters. "This Orwellian tech has no place in Britain," said Silkie Carlo, director of civil liberties at campaign group Big Brother Watch. "Criminals should be brought to justice, but papering over the cracks of broken policing with Orwellian tech is not the solution. It is completely absurd to inflict mass surveillance on the general public under the premise of fighting theft while police are failing to even turn up to 40% of violent shoplifting incidents or to properly investigate many more serious crimes."
