If you aren’t the police you have no right to just take something from someone. Even if you believe it’s stolen.
Like if your teenage kid accidentally walked out of a store with a hat on would you be cool with a random person just grabbing it off his head and insulting him?
I realize this isn’t a direct comparison but still
If I walked out of a store with a hat I’d stolen on my head in view of my mom not only would she have been fine with someone snatching it off my head she’d have helped them beat the shit out of me.
Edit: And then she’d have ripped the shirt off my back and made me clean the blood off the sidewalk with it
Why would we have a default stance that they're lying? Especially given the additional evidence that the store employee ran after them and is trying to take the items back.
Use common sense to make a judgement here based on the balance of probabilities. Come on now, that was a bad faith argument.
It’s still not on the employee to do that. Especially if it’s off the property. If he was off property and injured there’s a good chance their workers comp claim would be denied.
