Woman Thinks She's Entitled to Steal, Claims Police Harassment

On February 27, 2024 in Florida, an officer approached a woman who matched the description of a suspected shoplifter. Target had reported that a woman with black hair and red braids dressed in all black had selected a bag from within the store and began putting merchandise from the electronics department into the bag. The woman had exited the store without paying and was asked by loss prevention to return the merchandise, but the woman ignored the request and continued into the parking lot. When the first officer arrived in the area, he found the suspect outside of a nearby restaurant. This is body cam footage of the events that followed.
