      It would be state law depending.

      Even if it is, “loss protection” departments now just track it until they have enough to make a charge stick. What a lot of corpos do is track theft though until they have enough incidents to exceed that threshold. This is tracked via loyalty cards, card numbers, facial recognition, and license plate readers.

      Allegedly gait analysis could be used as well.

        Wouldn’t really matter in this sort of case where it’s a singular item and an accident. Unless they’re really forgetful

          It’s part of why masks becoming commonplace during covid was so cool, and the epitome of freedom from that bullshit. But there was a crowd of people who constantly speak against their own best interests in the name of freedumb who said otherwise.
