I bet some people in here would go all navy seal on their ass.
I wonder if they're supposed to or not?
Wow. This forum, honestly... Second post I've RTM'd today!(snip)
Credit to the guy on the till who went after him, I wonder if they're supposed to or not?
EDIT: I'm sure you're joking but why put yourself in danger to save small change for a massive corporation? It's just not worth it. They have insurance, it won't even be a blip on their radar.
A mate of mine is a store manager for Co-Op and he's told me that they can be given a disciplinary for going after shoplifters.

Fair enough. Interesting to hear it from the other side. Still as a member of the general public I feel absolutely no need to protect a business's assets by chasing after shoplifters and putting myself in danger
But aren't you worried that while continuing to make his escape, he might fatally stab your uncle Ben?
Can I borrow your Gucci belt?He was quoting Predator but I don't imagine someone who's into photography and reporting internet forum posts probably watches movies where men have above average testosterone levels
For a basket of shopping I'd tend to agree that it's probably not worth getting involved. I would be interested to hear where some of the posters on this thread would draw the line though. Someones house being broken into? Witnessing an assault? Rape?
Personally my instinct is to get involved, but can understand why people are reticent through fear for their own personal safety, citing fear of prosecution though seems a bit daft as long as any use of force is reasonable you are unlikely to get in trouble.
Your right, police dont even turn up for shoplifters around here.
This isn't the plot for Spiderman, it's real life!
Fine, live in fear, then.There was that guy who got killed over asking 2 guys i think it was to pick up their litter, on the news years back.
Yes by keeping our own actions honest. Not by attempting to apprehend potentially violent criminals.I believe everyone is personally responsible for making our society a better place

Many of them wouldn't bat an eyelid before stabbing you, or would come back with a bunch of their similarly inclined mates at some later point.
Thanks, but I'll pass.
