I don't know how the law USED to be, but now if you try to walk out with a cart of items and you get stopped, you can't be like "Can I just pay for the stuff???" Every video where this has happened, the officer has said "no" and the store always pressed charges.
There must have been a time where when the thief offered to pay for the items, they were like "Okay, but this better not happen again
