I think another part to this is the police not attending shoplifting incidident (amongst many others) due to the reduction in the police numbers. It's definitely out of order, what the tracking company is doing, of course. Perhaps if we had a functioning police service and reduced the need for people to shoplift (yes, a lot of this is run by gangs now, but still some steal to feed).
- skywhopper 2y agoYou’ve listened to a lot of misinformation about this topic. There aren’t huge gangs of shoplifters, and police force numbers have been growing in recent years. If anything is to blame for whatever increase there has been in shoplifting, it’s the stores who have tried their best to eliminate every bit of human staff.
- _joel 2y agoShow me the data to back that up as everything being reported is completely the opposite of what you suggest. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-67742042 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-67742042
- skywhopper 2y agoThe only data point in your article is that London police don’t follow up on shoplifting calls very often. That doesn’t indicate anything other than how seriously the police take the crime.
- _joel 2y agoSo that's a no then.
