Well, apparently she's banned from here, too, so >> No, I wasn't. >> So, we'll just trespass her and whatever. >> On February 14th, 2024, officers in Florida responded to a Target store on a report of retail theft. What makes this case unusual is that before she picked up a single item, she had already committed a crime. Months earlier, she had been formally trespassed from this store, a ban documented under Florida statute 8-10.08. Under that statute, re-entry after a lawful warning is itself a second-degree misdemeanor, complete the moment she crossed the threshold. This means the officers had a lawful basis to arrest her for trespass before any theft even began. >> She's >> I'm not a shoplifter. >> Okay. Do you know when she was banned? >> Um >> I saw it on the computer look up but I mean she she already said she concealed the the steaks in her purse so she's already gone. >> She was banned on July 14th. Okay. >> Yeah, so once she passes that final point so I'm going to take this out with them now, but >> I got to stay on my radio right there. >> I got to turn the radio off. All right, that's all right. That's right there. On the front right there. >> Yeah, she's probably going to go out of the entrance. >> All right. George Victor Romeo Victor Romeo Ma'am. Hey, how you doing? Ma'am. Hi, what's your name? >> Summer. >> What is it? >> Summer. >> Summer? >> Mhm. >> Can I look to see what's in your bag there? >> I want to see if Hold on. Hold on. Because as they were walking up, I wonder what Did she stop? Was she already walking out and then she stopped? Hold on. I got to put this on the big screen. Hold on. I'm What I'm looking for here is I want to see if she was walking out and then she seen the cops and then pretended to like look at something on the on the shelf there. That's really what I'm looking for. >> MA'AM. >> OH, YEP. YEP. She peeked out. That's her in the middle. She peeked out, looked, and now she's pretending to Yep.

Already trespassing and you're shoplifting. >> All right. >> We just saw you on the camera, ma'am. >> So, go ahead and show us what's in the bag. Is she homeless? >> I know times are tough, but we can't be doing this. >> Cuz at this point, I have enough to put your handcuffs and arrest you. Okay, you've been banned from the store already. All right. >> I got my baby in the car. >> I understand, but So, I can I can put your handcuffs now and get what's in your bag or you can show me what's in your bag. >> How old is your kid? >> 12 years old. >> Give me 12 or 10 around the back. >> Did she say 20? >> The theft >> Wait, woah woah wait wait, what? How old is your kid? Did she say 20? >> How old is your kid? >> Give me 12 or 10 around the 12 around the back. >> The theft charge stacks on top under Florida statute 812.014 governing petit theft. That statute grades theft by dollar value, and the threshold here matters more than viewers might expect. Theft of property valued below $100 is petit theft of the second degree, the lower misdemeanor. At $100, it becomes first-degree petit theft punishable by up to 1 year in jail. The itemized total in this case came to $103.73. $3.73 separated a lesser misdemeanor from a charge carrying real jail exposure. >> You're cooked. Yeah. Unbelievable. So, you can't get away with these things at Target, man. Target going to get you together. Like, you I don't understand why people pick the big stores to shoplift at. I mean, you shouldn't do it in regardless, but if you are going to do it, it's much easier for you to hit a mom-and-pop, you know, maybe corner store or something like that that they don't have their security on point for real. versus you hitting Walmart, Target, you know, you may get away with it once or twice, but eventually you're going to get caught, man, because that's that's their job to watch you. These lower-level stores, they don't really have the manpower to do it, man. Target, they're on point. They got a whole whole lady crew in there, too. Girl power. Oh, she pregnant? Ribeyes. Damn, them joints is barely marbled. I mean, well, one of them is. Them other ones to the left. You know them steaks ain't worth a damn. >> So, the total is 10373. Do you guys want me to do a shoplifting report? >> Um, I mean, we got her in the system, so it doesn't matter. >> Yeah, I don't have to do one. Yeah, just totally fine. Do you need a ban form? >> No, she's already in. >> Oh, yeah, she's already banned. Yeah. >> Um, what's your name? >> Gabriella. >> All right, ma'am. Here you go. She wants my car. Just so you know, I'm searching her down. I'll go down with her. >> Thank you. >> Yes, ma'am. Thank you. >> The walk of shame. Come back to the same Target that you're banned from. You couldn't even pick a different store. >> You have a car to put this in? Right here, ma'am. All right, I'll take your car keys whenever I'M DONE SEARCHING. >> ALL RIGHT, HERE. CAN I SEARCH YOU?
