Summary
Self-checkout was supposed to make shopping faster… but for these skip-scan shoplifters, it made getting caught even easier. Law&Crime’s Sam Goldberg dives into bodycam where officers respond to retail theft calls involving suspects who thought they could outsmart self-checkout systems by skipping scans, hiding items, or playing dumb at the register. What follows are tense confrontations, awkward excuses, and bodycam footage that proves the cameras—and the receipts—don’t lie.
