Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

$160... So like a pant and some beach towels?

She stole $1281 of stuff over multiple shopping trips.

Target can ID faces and track thefts across multiple store trips.

[–] MrPibb@lemmynsfw.com 21 points 2 years ago (4 children)

One thing that any would be shoplifter should take away from this is NEVER steal from Target. Target waits and tallies up what a person has shoplifted until that dollar value exceeds what is required to charge them with felony theft, in Florida‘s case a dollar value greater than 750, and then has that person arrested.

[–] thesilverpig@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (2 children)

i feel like you just told us the inverse. Shoplift from target, just figure out what a felony in your area is and take less than that first though.

Not legal advice:

I would limit to half of it to be safe.

[–] MrPibb@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 2 years ago

Lol, I guess you’re right, not really what I was going for but to each their own.

Relevant video. Somewhat mind blowing.

How Target helps solve violent crimes

I've heard that target waits until you hit some amount that makes it a felony then busts you hard

Which basically means you can steal from target, but only once.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah, there is usually a dollar amount that you need to hit in order for charges to actually be meaningful in a number of states. For example, in CA you need to steal over $950 for a judge to have the option to make it a felony. If it’s under $950 it’s a slap on the wrist.

In each instance, Weiss allegedly fills a shopping cart with hundreds of dollars in merchandise, then scans and pays for a few items to generate a receipt she can show to a store associate as she walks out.

How much could a banana possibly cost?

[–] JoMomma@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Depends on the size of the banana

[–] Steve@startrek.website 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is a pant just one side of a pair of pants?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

No, it's the front half
