[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't take anything from Target. They have one of the most sophisticated facial recognition systems in retail. I used to date a head of AP for a local Target who showed me their AP office and systems.

They compile all instances of theft until you reach felony level ($1,000 in VA) and then they pounce.

You are banned (trespassed) from all Target stores after getting caught, and like I said, their facial recognition software will be able to nab you if you try to enter in the future, then they press a trespassing charge. [/quote]

Total BS. You can't aggregate singular instances into a single felony. I don't doubt they want people to believe that but that isn't how the legal system works.[/quote]

One Google search proves otherwise. Target is one of the strictest with shoplifting.

From someone who was busted shoplifting at Target: 
[quote]“When I finally got caught at Target and was taken to their office and they showed me a month’s worth case of me in one of the 10 binders they had.”

Unlike Walmart, Target maintains one of the highest-rated loss prevention teams, specializing in solving retail crimes at its stores. Their methods include video and image analysis, fingerprinting, and computer forensics.[/quote]

Another one on Target's sophisticated software: https://www.marketingscoop.com/blog/target-shoplifting-policy/

[quote]But Target‘s surveillance technology goes far beyond simple video recording. The company employs advanced analytics software that can quickly identify suspicious behavior and alert security personnel to potential theft in real-time. This includes things like facial recognition algorithms that can match individuals to known shoplifter databases, as well as machine learning tools that can detect anomalies in customer behavior.

According to a report by Business Insider, Target has even experimented with using artificial intelligence to predict which customers are more likely to shoplift based on factors like their movements through the store and the items they purchase. While the company has not disclosed the exact metrics used in these risk scoring models, it is clear that data analysis plays a significant role in Target‘s loss prevention efforts.[/quote]

And on Target's two private crime labs: 
[quote]In addition to its in-store security measures, Target also operates two of the most advanced retail crime laboratories in the country. Located in Minneapolis and Las Vegas, these state-of-the-art facilities provide forensic services to Target stores and law enforcement agencies across the United States.

The labs are staffed by a team of highly trained forensic specialists, including fingerprint experts, computer forensic analysts, and video engineers. Using cutting-edge technology and techniques, these professionals work to extract evidence from surveillance footage, recover stolen merchandise, and build ironclad cases against shoplifters and organized retail crime rings.

One notable example of Target‘s forensic capabilities in action occurred in 2016, when the company‘s investigators were able to link a series of thefts across multiple states to a single organized crime group. By analyzing surveillance footage and social media posts, the team was able to identify the suspects and provide critical evidence to law enforcement, leading to the arrest of over a dozen individuals.[/quote]
