Stuff has been getting REAAAAALY expensive lately in my europoor nation, like I could get a buncha snacks with 5€, but then we had to sanction Russia and fuck everything up and so now I can’t get shit with that. So basically, how do I shoplift? There are like a bazillion cameras covering every aisle in my local shop and I’m confused as to how not to get caught stuffing my bag full of stuff?
Couple points to add on to things there: I’m not aware of any Eurocountry where shop workers are allowed to forcefully detain you and/or check your bags, without directly seeing you shoplift, and so long as you don’t agree. Even if laws permit it, it’s exceedingly rare that workers are allowed to enforce it because of the huge liabilities.
If someone tries to stop you, inform them you won’t be detained and that you’re leaving, then just leave by any means you peacefully can, even calmly hopping barriers. This is what I do even though I’m not stealing stuff.
Be aware of your rights, any wannabe cop security guards who do actually detain you might be guilty of assault, depending on their actions and local laws, for which you might be able to sue the company, or even just threaten to sue if you’re not released.
