Is it the LCBO or is it the threat of legal action for interfering with the rights of the thief?
It's the employees who would get their butts kicked by the thieves, which isn't something they're paid to do. And a little liability if the "suspected" shoplifter is injured.
ID check on the way in mostly deals with both of those issues. I thought it was a good idea in concept, not sure why it was killed before they had a chance to evaluate it. Maybe the first day had a door blocked for the entire day by a Karen screaming about communism.
People may also complain that it infringes on their right to anonymously by booze as the only way it could work is scanned and recorded entry. There was a time this was tracked BTW, even needing a permit for personal purchases and it was recorded what and how much one bought... Any solution will be an arms race of sorts but fake ID is an easy defeat of this system (here is my Florida, wherever ID...). There was that group, just arrested, creating "synthetic IDs" (fancy fake) that were good enough to fool banks, my guess is the more organized criminals could also just do that to defeat the system.
. I did actually have them lock my cart on exit a week or so ago by mistake, the women right there came over and apologized. No idea how or who controls it but it does stop the cart pretty much dead but it won't stop a bag/basket etc.
Given the responses that I recently received to a comment on an OPP Facebook post about the illegality of tinted license plate covers, it wouldn't surprise me one bit.
Agreed. Cops were also westbound in the westbound lanes. Cop pursuing into traffic is crazy. If someone just misses the bad guy, their is a decent chance they are unstable and get smoked by the cop.
There’s a guy ripping around our area with literally blacked out plates…reported it as I can see if very close behind him, nothing changes.
Have been tempted to let loose a can of spray foam into muffler of similar offender in my area with a note on windshield saying "stop driving like an Ahole"
And of course, if he does kill someone, they won't be able to identify him because of the plate cover.

Bad drivers thread or failure of the justice system thread? Hit and run, intentionally run over a pedestrian, flight from police and driving ban is 1.5 years? A decade should be the lowest starting point for that. Driving is clearly a right not a privilege.
Road rage driver handed conditional sentence
Nearly a year to the day Joshua Wheatley was caught on camera running a man over in an apparent road rage incident, the 22-year-old has been given a conditional sentence for six months, including partial house arrest with a curfew.barrie.ctvnews.ca
Nearly a year to the day Joshua Wheatley was caught on camera running a man over in an apparent road rage incident, the 22-year-old has been given a conditional sentence for six months, including partial house arrest with a curfew.
Wheatley pleaded guilty in December to dangerous driving when South Simcoe Police said he ran into a pedestrian with his car, then sped off in early May of last year.
Wheatley, who is from Bradford, was also initially charged with assault with a weapon and flight from police. Those charges were withdrawn on Tuesday. Wheatley will then be on probation for 12 months and banned from driving for a year and a half.
The court heard the Barrie man hit by Wheatley’s car was trying to stop Wheatley from taking off after he said Wheatley backed his car into his vehicle along the ninth line while both were stuck in heavy traffic.
After hitting the man with his car, police said Wheatley then fled the scene and was eventually stopped along the 10th sideroad in Bradford, only to take off again and get boxed in by officers near the 10th line before finally being taken into custody.
The court heard the 35-year-old man victim has since recovered from his injuries.
His lawyer told the court Wheatley wasn’t trying to hit the man who had jumped in front of Wheatley’s car before being struck.
The Crown told the court Wheatley was trying to take off from the scene and did nothing to avoid hitting the man.
The Crown says, “If someone is foolish or angry enough to get in front of your car…as a driver…you’ve got to use the brake pedal. And certainly, by the time the gentleman is on his hood, that’s an option. And it is not an option that is exercised.”

To increase its effective half-life, trenbolone is administered as a prodrug as an ester conjugate such as [trenbolone acetate], trenbolone enanthate, or trenbolone cyclohexylmethylcarbonate."
Okay, so we're back to the drunk defense. "I didn't know what I was doing."
Video of crash. Not sure what the cops did to screw up the flight charge. They had him stopped once and he took off. That should have been a slam dunk. No need for a plea deal in court, the other charges were also well supported by evidence.
