#shoplifting #bodycam #mirandarights In July 2024, in Palm Coast, Florida, deputies investigated two grocery carts that store surveillance showed leaving a supermarket without payment, while a man distracted a cashier with a story about a lost EBT card and left behind a name that did not match him. The next day, deputies found the retail theft suspects at a tent encampment, served a probation violation warrant, and questioned both on bodycam. The female suspect was told she was not free to go and was read her rights, then said the pair rode bikes, until a deputy pointed out he already had the car's tag. A deputy guaranteed she would not be arrested, then took it back on learning she was on probation. The male suspect said he would plead the Fifth, and questioning stopped. Was ordering a man out of his tent lawful without a search warrant? Does a withdrawn promise make later statements involuntary? And do two carts add up to felony retail theft under Florida law?
