70sEraVet's JournalCriminal defense attorney explains why you should avoid self-checkout lanes: 'Theft by mistake'
A surprisingly informative article about the perils of using self-checkout at stores. Are we accepting a legal liability when we check our own items?
Jernigan explains that, in the early days of self-checkout, she noticed stores letting people off if they forgot to scan an item.
“They let almost all of these people either scan and pay for the item, or just let them go, but took the item they did not pay for,” she says.
Now, however, stores aren’t as lenient, she says. Jernigan believes this is because shoplifters have become so adept at stealing from self-checkout lanes that stores no longer want to take a gamble on whether a theft was accidental.
“They have lost all sympathy, and they are just taking a ‘Tell it to the judge’ approach,” she adds.

A Christmas miracle? Trumpers dumping Trump?
I drive the 20 miles into Clarksville about twice a week -- to shop at a hardware store or a Wal-Mart, or pick up prescriptions at Kroger, etc. On the way there, I pass the Super-Trumper's house. He has a very long driveway, and I always look at all the flags lining his driveway. There are two very large US flags, accompanied by six or eight flags that denote his particular brand of patriotism -- Trump flags, Confederate flags, and Gadsden flags. His driveway is a Deplorable Landmark!
Anyway, I'm writing to report that I drove past it yesterday afternoon and ...... THEY'RE GONE!
Only the two US flags still stand.
What happened?
Did he get visited during the night by three Christmas Spirits?
Or did the angel Clarence show him how much better the world would be if Trump had never been born?
Or, ..... were the superhero trading cards the final grift, the last gift he could take? A Christmas grift.
In honor of the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, I'd like to recommend a book.
'1945' by Robert Conroy is an alternative history of the attack, and subsequent war against Japan. The historical details presented in the novel are eye-opening, and the 'if events worked out a bit differently' is really frightening.

I live in a rural Tennessee county, and I ALWAYS see 'Let's Go Brandon' bumperstickers, keyrings,
flags, etc.
I've decided I would like a 'You Don't Know Jack (Smith)' sign.
I know it only costs a few bucks for a personalized bumpersticker.
