Comment on Barred from Grocery Stores by Facial Recognition

Comments

I wish we could get rid of this system by getting rid of the demand for it. Stores wouldn't need things like this if career shoplifters got sent to prison.

The article mentions many of these shoplifters are stealing things like nappies. Sending them to prison might mean the state has to take care of the kids.

Isn't it really common for people to steal diapers to resell rather than because they have kids who need them?
