My question involves criminal law for the state of: California
Is anyone aware of cases where a shoplifter get identified, tracked and subsequently accused/noticed by a store
way after the fact? In particular, I know in theory, stores can review/monitor their security cameras and perhaps somehow find
the identify of a shoplifter weeks later and then track him down. But I wonder how often this happens in reality. Does anyone have experiences
like that? Any web links of such a case to share would be appreciated. I could imagine if this happens at all, this would be by large big stores such
as Banana Republic, and familiars where they have all the money to spend on such a thing but still I am having a hard time finding
any news or articles about this online.
PS: Please no lecturing or generic answer. I am really looking for specific cases of this nature. Because as I said I understand in theory this might happen.
thanks
