The problem here isn't so much scummy companies like Walmart, which will always exist and make false accusations, but the police who take those accusations and without proof make arrests. They are the truly big part of the problem and need to be reigned in. They know that Walmart and other companies routinely make false reports, have no evidence, yet are more than happy to make the arrest based on nothing. Same with judges. And prosecutors who choose to go ahead with these cases. They are truly the ones to blame for our lack of a functioning legal system that tries to lock up innocent people based on some company's bullshit. Let's not pretend that these parties have to enforce these shitty laws the way they do when there are a billion other more important priorities: they choose to because they enjoy hurting people and fucking up people's lives for their own amusement and advancement. If that isn't sick, I don't know what is. Oh right, Walmart falsely accusing people of shoplifting. That's a good reason not to shop there alone. On the other hand, when a retailer refuses to refund money for a product not even delivered, that's just a civil matter and these same scummy cops won't even take a report. The law clearly does not apply the same to all parties.
