Grabbing granny behind San Francisco's looting spree

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Grandma Francill White, 53, and her daughter Kimberly Cherry, 28, have been identified as two of five alleged looters who made off with more than $1 million in designer booty from upscale San Francisco stores

White has posted pictures of herself on Facebook wearing a Covid mask from Louis Vuitton — one of the targeted stores in Union Square

She also posted a shot of herself sitting astride a Harley Davidson, flashing a large wad of banknotes

White’s life of crime dates back 30 years with her first conviction – for stealing from a woman named Jane Snethen – in 1989

Despite charges – and 14 previous convictions ranging from shoplifting to attempted murder – all five looters are now back on the street on bond

Police have now stationed a mobile command center in the area. Clusters of cops can be seen patrolling every corner of Union Square 24 hours a day

The spate of lootings has been blamed on ‘woke’ San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin and a 2014 California law that made theft under $950 a misdemeanor

#1 Most of the punishments that were doled out to such thieves were proscribed by the "cruel and unusual punishment" ban in the Constitution. While mutilation is indeed cruel, it did make a person readily identifiable to all as a thief.

Maybe in the future there will be a biometric way to accomplish the same result? Naaaah. The ACLU would sue for sure.

Be very careful what you wish for, MM. ACLU might actually agree to implants if it showed who criticized someone or didn't follow government mandates.

#3 There is an entire culture that thinks retail theft is great fun until they get caught. Then it's a ploy by eeeeevil corporations out to get them.

#4 People love sci-fi tales of having to painfully excise an implant. Most would never survive a properly directed HERF blast, let alone a few seconds of a gamma knife.

The biometric approach I'm thinking of is facial recognition and doors that can't be casually breached. I'm frankly surprised nobody is currently selling a system that drops everything in jewelry store show cases into a vault below the floor if an alarm is triggered.
Yes, I know that facial recognition is "harming the rights of chador wearers." Tough. Those people can afford bonded "buying agents." Problem. Solution.
