32 Times at Target: The Barcode Scammer Finally Gets Caught A Target loss prevention officer had been building a file on the same woman for three years — 32 documented incidents, an estimated $2,400 in losses, the same barcode-switching method every single time. On August 9, 2023, officers were already on-site when she arrived for what LP believed was visit number 33. What makes this footage remarkable isn't just the arrest or the emotional breakdown that followed — it's the split-second moment in the back office where, in the middle of a string of denials, she said something she immediately tried to take back. In this breakdown we walk through the LP's methodical case-building, the "last point of sale" doctrine, a critical Miranda and Edwards v. Arizona analysis, and whether that one slip on camera could survive a suppression hearing. #TargetShoplifting #TicketSwitching #RetailFraud #ShopliftingArrest #PoliceBodycam #BodycamFootage #RetailTheft #CaughtStealing #PoliceArrest #LegalAnalysis This video is for educational and informational purposes only.
