They Know You're STEALING at Self-Checkout — Here's When They ARREST You

from Rossen Reports · host Jeff Rossen

Most people don’t get arrested the first time they steal at self-checkout. My investigation has revealed, many stores wait. They track every “missed scan,” every pattern, every visit. But there's a specific moment they move in, and arrest you -- charging you with a Felony. In this show, I expose: • How retailers actually monitor self-checkout • Why you’re usually NOT stopped the first time • When a simple mistake becomes a criminal charge • The dollar amounts that trigger arrests • What stores already know about you • How innocent shoppers get caught in the net If you’ve ever used self-checkout, this episode is for you!
