re: Parents handcuffed and arrested after 4yr took a doll from the Dollar store

Regardless of whether the cops were right or wrong, the victims are using typical organized shoplifter tactics.

Steal the toy, if caught, say "my four year old accidentally took it and I didn't see it."

They often have people in the lot. If Loss Prevention stops their cohort outside, the others drive up and start slinging "why you harassing him/her" and "This is racist." They try to create a scene, then leave.
