Have you ever been arrested before? >> I have actually. >> What for? >> Domestic violence against somebody that put his hands on me first. >> Oh, I got you. Okay. >> But killed me. >> What had happened today? >> I lost my wallet and I felt like being rebellion. >> On September 27th, 2025, a 22-year-old woman walked into a smoke shop, picked up a grinder, passed every register, and walked out without paying a single scent. What followed was a textbook retail theft encounter that almost accidentally became a live demonstration of every mistake a person can make once law enforcement gets involved. >> What? >> I work right there at the tobacco store. That girl on the blue jeep. >> She just stole from us. >> Blue jeans. Did you call Did you call it in? >> I just She just did it. >> All right. >> Right here in that blue jeep right there. >> Blue Jeep.

I called the owner instead. >> Well, I mean that's you know you really should call us if somebody steals. >> What you do? >> That is what you do. >> No. No, not at all. You just make a fair trade and you talk to the owner. >> That's not that's I mean if you know the owner here's the thing. That's if you know the owner and you want to do that before taking it, >> you can negotiate a trade with somebody. That's not how >> That's how nice I am. >> Okay, but that's not how businesses work. That's how you can negotiate a trade with somebody you know before taking something. But you don't just go into a place and take something and then say you're going to come back and pay them later. That's >> how you talk to the owner. >> That's theft. Well, that's when you just talk to the owner. >> Okay. But that's also not how businesses work. You understand that? You understand that they would go out of business >> if that go >> if they would do that. >> You do it wise and you do it smart. >> Huh? >> You do it wise and you do it smart. You go and grab it and you come back and you grab what you need. >> Problem. >> That's You seem to not really understand how the economy and capitalism and >> you do it wise and you do it smart. >> All right.

I do. >> I have hair in my mouth. So, you want to move the hair out of my mouth? >> Sure. I'll do that for you. >> No. Thank you. >> You're welcome. Thank you for moving that, too. And I'm going to scoot right here so I'm not staying in a streer. >> All right. Yeah, you can sit on the curb right there. So, >> can I go in the shade, please? It's getting too hot out here. >> Jordan, you just moved from the shade. >> No, I'm sweating. >> Okay, here's what we're going to do. >> Stand up. We'll go stand by my car. >> Help me up >> because the shade's over there. Okay, >> please. And thank you. >> Oh, it's just you. Better yet, why don't we have a seat in my car? There's AC in there. Okay. >> That way you're >> That way you're not complaining about the the heat. >> Can you undo these? Because it's already jail. >> Hold on. Do you have anything on you just going to poke me? Take me anything. >> Under the common law doctrine of lararseny and codified in virtually every US state criminal code. Theft requires a taking, a carrying away, and an intent to permanently deprive the owner of their property. The moment this subject passed the final point of sale with no attempt to pay, all three elements were satisfied. In People versus Alivo from 1981, the New York Court of Appeals confirmed that passing all points of sale is sufficient evidence of shoplifting intent, a standard widely adopted across US jurisdictions. The subject offered multiple explanations. A lost wallet, a digital bank account, a plan to pay back later. Under American theft law, intent to pay later does not retroactively eliminate the crime. The act was legally complete the moment she exited the premises without payment. Among the most critical moments in this footage, the subject made extensive voluntary admissions before any formal arrest. She confirmed taking the item, offered her reasoning, and showed her bank balance, all without being prompted under custodial conditions. Under Miranda versus Arizona 384US 436 from 1966, Miranda warnings are required only prior to custodial interrogation. Because these statements were spontaneous and voluntary, they carry no advisement requirement and remain fully admissible in any subsequent proceeding. The Supreme Court reinforced this in Burkimer versus McCarti 468US 420 from 1984, holding that routine roadside questioning during a traffic stop does not constitute custodial interrogation, further solidifying the admissibility of everything this subject voluntarily disclosed. Upon arrest, officers conducted a thorough search and booking process under the fourth amendment as interpreted in Chimal versus California 395 US 752 from 1969. A warrantless search of an arrestes person is constitutionally permissible incident to a lawful arrest. The subject requested a female officer for her search. While many agencies maintain a preference for gender concordant patowns, no absolute constitutional mandate requires one when the only available female officer is already responding to a priority emergency call. The store owner's decision to pursue charges rather than accept repayment was entirely within his legal authority. A completed theft is not erased by subsequent restitution. The victim retains independent authority to press criminal charges regardless of any offer to pay. The subject was also issued a trespass notice. Under the laws of most US states, a property owner may bar any individual from their premises verbally or in writing at any time. Returning to that property after receiving such notice constitutes a separate criminal offense. >> Have nothing. >> I'm going to check your pockets real quick. Make sure you don't have anything. >> Okay. I'm just checking your pockets. I'm not >> I know, but I need to All right. All right. Well, then you're going to sit on the curb over here. Over here, please. Over here. Sit on the curb. >> You want a female officer? I'll get a female officer for you, too. >> Check my pockets, at least. >> Okay. >> Jordan, you can't tell me that you want me to check your pockets, but you want a you want a female officer to do it. >> I freaking I'm getting this in order. I'm sorry. What was that last part you said? >> I need to smoke because y'all are >> smoke anxious. I have my medical marijuana card and I have my like >> a check card. >> I have a medical marijuana card. >> Well, you're not doing that right now. You're definitely not going to do that in our presence. Um so, but again, as I explained to you over there, >> I need you do not dictate how this goes. Well, thank you for putting me in the shade at least, but there's no sun spraying on me. >> I mean, like I said, I'm a nice guy. I'm not an [ __ ] Right now, I'm going to place you under arrest. Okay. >> And we're going to go to jail. >> Yeah, it's it's for me. Would you mind doing a transport? I long as one's okay with it. Yeah. >> Yeah, cuz I mean I got to still go in there and uh >> get the camera footage or if you want to do camera footage and I'll transport, >> it's just cars. I can't be off my medical. >> It's up to you. >> We're right here. It's no big deal. >> Okay. >> All right, Jordan. Uh, unfortunately, the only female officer we have on ship right now is going to another call, priority call. So, >> search you. >> All right. Hey, >> wonder right now. >> Where's my mom? I'm trying. >> No. Yeah, this is for the This is for the tobacco store. So, >> got I already checked the front pocket before. >> This one's good. Thailand's never good. >> Um, I want to go home. My mom >> I can give Kendall a call. See if maybe she gives another transport later. Fine. Um, see what she wants to do. >> You're [music] good. >> Okay. Yeah, if you could just transport her. the store and get some uh >> Can you guys put these to the front? >> Huh? No. If you need to, you can tilt sideways. >> Jordan, can your mom come get the Are you okay with your mom getting the truck if she's willing to do so? >> I am, but I want my I want my mom to come pick me up. >> Okay, that's not an option. >> And my stepdad get my stuff. Can you guys take me home? No, >> take me to my apartment. >> No, right now the safest spot for you is going to be in our custody. So, we are taking you >> to the jail. >> Okay. >> Um I'm sorry to have you have you go through this, but right now in the condition you're in, you're not safe and there's no no other option. So, we're going to do that, but you're okay with your mom coming to get the truck? >> I am okay with her getting the truck. I trust her driving that. >> All right, sounds good. Thank you. Okay. >> Hello, sir. Not much. So 22 entitled thinks that, you know, stealing a $2 grinder and then wanting to come back and pay later. >> So a $2 grinder? >> Yeah. Can we drop the north gate, please? >> Like a food grinder. This is from a smoke shop. >> Could you drop the north gate, please? So, and she thinks she did nothing wrong. She's like, "It's a misdemeanor. I've gotten released with a court date before for a misdemeanor." I'm like, "Okay, >> 22." >> Oh, great. >> Yeah. So, she's an adult. >> Fantastic. >> Yeah. Kendall um Kendall said she doesn't mind taking her back up, but just told Mitch, we'll let her know that, you know, she's if she's going to go up, she's got to get food and gas and stuff. Let me get out of here. >> Jordan, >> I want my stuff back. >> Okay, that's fine. I told you you can give him a call later at some point. Hold on. Hold on. Sit still. >> Well, I can't even get out of here. >> Well, I was trying to put the seat belt buckle away so you can get out. >> [ __ ] can't. Like a [ __ ] bird. Clock. >> Okay. >> All right, Jordan, move over to the red footprints and put your feet on the red footprints. >> Where's my stepdad? >> Go inside. Do the same thing. Step on the red footprints. Face the wall. >> Where's my stuff? >> Okay. Feed on the red footprints. >> You I am in here. >> I told you we don't really have any females available and we don't need them. >> So, everything's being recorded. >> This is going to go in your property bag. Okay. The necklaces. Lift up your hands. Okay. >> They're all getting fired. >> Okay. That's nice. Listen, we don't have to call a female officer if one's not available or if we don't need one. I need your keep your feet. >> You said you have rings and bracelets on you. >> I do. >> Okay. I'm going to take off your necklace and put it with your property so that we don't lose it. Okay. So hard to manipulate these things. Yeah. Gloves on. And then when we get over to the cell, you can take out your earrings on your own.

Okay, lift your hands up real quick. >> All right, lean forward just a little bit. Lean forward just a little bit. >> No, I'm not. >> I have to credit card swipe and make sure you don't have anything in your shirt. >> Oh, that's great news, right? >> Nothing there. Nothing there.

Trust me. >> Acting like a 12year-old the whole way here on the door. >> Right here. >> Right here. >> Right here. >> Have a seat on the bench. >> Right. >> Right. >> The responding officers earn a B+. They maintained composure throughout a chaotic and erratic encounter. Correctly identified every element of the offense. clearly communicated the legal standard to the subject, coordinated with the victim, and executed the arrest and booking within acceptable legal and tactical parameters. The primary critique is efficiency. The pre-arrest phase extended unnecessarily as officers engaged in prolonged back and forth with a subject who had already confessed. Once the victim confirmed his decision, the path to arrest should have been executed more decisively. The subject receives a Dminus. She committed a theft, admitted to it on camera, offered contradictory and shifting justifications, disrupted portions of the booking process, and stated plainly that she acted because, and this is a direct quote, she felt like being rebellious. This was not a misunderstanding of the law. It was a deliberate and conscious disregard for it. To her limited credit, the subject did not physically resist the initial arrest, complied with most booking instructions, and did not escalate to a use of force incident. These factors are noted in the record, though they do not materially change the overall assessment. Every law enforcement encounter, regardless of scale, contains teachable moments. Five lessons emerge directly from this footage that apply to any civilian navigating contact with law enforcement. Lesson one, intent to pay later is not a legal defense. Once you pass the final point of sale without paying, the crime is legally complete. A stated plan to return money afterward does not undo the taking under American law. Lesson two, voluntary statements are admissible without Miranda warnings. Anything you say spontaneously before a formal arrest can be used against you in court. The subject in this footage built the prosecution's entire case using her own words. Lesson three, officers cannot negotiate criminal charges on your behalf with the victim. The decision to press charges belongs exclusively to the victim. No amount of reasoning, pleading, or creative bargaining directed at law enforcement changes that legal reality. Lesson four, a trespass notice is legally independent of any criminal proceeding. A property owner may formally bar you from their premises at any time for any reason. Returning after that notice is issued creates an entirely separate criminal charge. Lesson five, the dollar value of a stolen item does not determine whether a crime occurred. A $2 grinder and a $200 item are both theft under American law. The value only affects the severity of the charge, not whether a crime was committed at all.
