Ivey Marie Weiss, 49, of Ocala, was arrested yesterday and charged with shoplifting and engaging in a scheme to defraud after allegedly stealing over $160 in items from the Target store in Gainesville.
Unbeknownst to most, Target has a top-rated forensic services laboratory that provides forensic examinations, and assists outside law enforcement with help on special cases.
Target and Walmart both declined to comment for this story, but in a press release from 2012, Target said it volunteers to get involved with with “felony, homicide, and special-circumstances cases.” In 2008, a Target spokesperson told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that a quarter of the cases it worked on were unrelated to the company itself.
so they look at surveillance video for murderers… they’re not solving outside crimes
Inside, they comb through video-surveillance records and spirit data out of devices that have seen better days
its a “digital forensics” lab… they’re investigating embezzlement… hackers…
the whole “target is the panopticon” thing is a clever viral marketing ploy to reduce shoplifting…
that and the thing where they supposedly keep tabs on you for years until you hit a felony total of shoplifting, THEN they bust you and you have to pay $5,000,000,000…
that’s not even how laws work…
faced with evidence that includes public radio and the atlantic, you decide it’s all bullshit because your overwhelming mountain of evidence to strengthen your premise is - zilch?
look dweezle, assert your own facts with citations or admit you’re wrong, you sound like a right wing bozo.
you resorted to childish name calling… which is very right wing of you, ummm also you seem like a genocidal dictator!
and a person with poor table manners!!!
posit? like you’re participating in some sort of discussion?
no, you’re very weakly trolling, and i won’t be positing any arguments to someone of your churlish disposition…
lol… law enforcement does not get help from target, ffs

some minnesota local news blog from 2011… yeah ok
MPR is MInnesota Public Radio, not ‘some local news blog’, and Target is headquartered in Minnesota.
amazing

p.s. dweezil is pretty cool anyways, so thanks for the compliment.
and you still don’t have an argument to posit.

Ya, that would imply that Leo’s give a fuck about solving actual crimes.
