Sacramento threatens Target with fine for reporting rampant retail theft to police: Report
The Blaze | July 11, 2024 | Candace Hathaway

The Sacramento City Attorney’s Office recently threatened to slap Target with an administrative fine for phoning police about a number of retail theft incidents, according to the Sacramento Bee.

The report stated that a source, who asked to remain anonymous out of fear of retaliation, claimed that the Target, located at 2505 Riverside Blvd in Land Park, was warned by city officials that it could face a public nuisance charge if it continues to report instances of theft. The news outlet noted that a law enforcement spokesperson confirmed the location.

The City Attorney’s Office and the Sacramento Police Department told the Sacramento Bee that they were unaware of any litigation threats. City Attorney Susana Alcala Wood’s office did not grant the Sacramento Bee’s request for an interview.

In response to the alleged threats and similar actions across the state, lawmakers added an amendment to a retail theft bill, prohibiting authorities from making such threats.

  2. Target should start a TikTok challenge daring crooks to call the police to taunt them about robberies — get the cops to actually hunt down the crooks and arrest them on a public nuisance charge!
