According to what I’ve read, stores are making an effort to get people arrested whether they make mistakes or steal on purpose. How can they even tell? It’s police who arrest, so retailers have to call them with the proof or they don’t know to arrest them. It probably costs them less not to call, although they finally seem to want to.

I hate those self checkouts. It might be mistake—he’s still a working actor—not unemployed. If not, I hope he resolves it and gets help. I wish him well either way.

Poor guy. It could’ve been an accident and because he used to be famous he’s humiliated in front of the whole world. Give him a break - just let him pay for it and move on.
