I don't have an issue with a private business doing this. It seters criminals, making shopping safer, helps with shrink, the cost of which is passed on to us the consumer.
It doesn’t make shopping safer and it doesn’t deter crime because the cops and judicial system don’t do anything. It’s like playing a baseball game under protest.

Yeah, the first time your car gets burglarized in one of those parking lots you'll be thankful that they had a camera monitoring the lot.

And I'm willing to bet some of these folks think nothing of throwing sensitive personal data in their trash every week. Bank statements, cancelled checks, prescriptions, billing statements, insurance, etc.
I saw an interview with an incarcerated inmate that said he would go through neighborhoods at night, grab a few trash bags and the start of an identity theft would be in its beginning stages. Within a few weeks, he had a pretty good profile of his intended victim.
Shred that stuff folks. and tell your aging parents.

But yeah- business can do what it needs to deter assholes.
The "theft prevention" is the sales pitch.
Your data (face, movements, time, length of stay, etc) is the product.

It's everywhere now. I actually avoid Lowe's because of how "in your face" it is... but it's everywhere.
I can shop from home, but that's data too.
I know I'm the product now... and there's not a damned thing I can about it.

none of these companies want to pursue shoplifting bc of demographics.

Which goes to my point....

As if the ones shoplifting actually have updated registration on their cars.
Most probably have those counterfeit Texas paper tags

texas got smart. They only have metal tags now. Temp tags are metal and trackable. They got tired of people making fake paper tags and driving around forever with them. Tired of the passing through toll areas and not paying.
I guess that's one good thing about tolls. It allowed the state to see that counterfeit paper tags were a big issue. They then did something about it.
Louisiana could benefit from this. I see paper tags everywhere. You know if a person is driving around with fake plates, they don't have insurance either.

but privacy advocates warn the devices could track shoppers’ movements.
These things are so overblown. The same people complaining about this are totally fine having their data tracked on iPhones, any apps ranging from DoorDash to Facebook. They don’t realize that having an app where you use coupons for your local grocery store also tracks everything. There’s literally cameras on streets and doorbells tracking your every move.

And yet not a peep from them about the city putting cameras on every corner

Don't worry BRPD will get right on that shite 
:lol:
I am sure they will get to the HD/Lowes shoplifters right after they solve the case of my stolen lawnmower from 1995.

Not exactly apples to apples, but kinda reminds me of when the political left was demanding body cameras be worn by police. Demanding body cam was the greatest strategic error by the anti-cop “#DefundThePolice” crowd I’ve seen in my lifetime.
Like body cams confirming that cops are doing their job right most of the time, the initiative by Home Depot and Lowe’s will likely confirm what we already know about a certain segment of society.
