[00:27:08]>> So you know what all they charged me for?

[00:27:11]>> Yes.

[00:27:14]This is what's on the paper.

[00:27:15]>> Mhm.

[00:27:16]>> Right?

[00:27:17]It's called grand theft.

[00:27:19]That's for a theft over $750.

[00:27:23]And then resist without violence because they stated that you ran from them.

[00:27:29]>> Mhm.

[00:27:30]>> Okay?

[00:27:31]>> Just those two?

[00:27:33]>> Say again?

[00:27:34]>> Just those two?

[00:27:39]So with that said, okay?

[00:27:42]>> Mhm.

[00:27:43]>> Have you been arrested before?

[00:27:46]>> Yeah, a while back.

[00:27:47]>> A while back?

[00:27:47]>> Mhm.

[00:27:48]>> A year or more?

[00:28:06]>> Okay.

[00:28:07]>> Yeah.

[00:28:09]>> So with that said, I don't know. So this is how it generally works.

[00:28:16]You're you're charged with this.

[00:28:17]>> So so basically they uh I'm getting some to put They they like rung me up for two buggies.

[00:28:27]>> They rung you up for two buggies?

[00:28:29]>> Yes.

[00:28:29]>> What's a buggy?

[00:28:30]>> Like cuz when we was coming out, I was pushing out a buggy and another girl was doing so so, but it seems to me that they charged me for both.

[00:28:41]>> Okay.

[00:28:43]>> If it came up to >> or law enforcement charged you for both?

[00:28:48]>> No, I don't know if they rang it all up for it to be $800 cuz I didn't steal 800 >> is the buggy?

[00:28:55]>> No, it's not a it's not the buggy. It's like it was the cart, you know, like >> Oh, the cart. All right, okay, I got it.

[00:29:02]>> But I didn't have nothing 800 I didn't My The stuff that I had was not 800 and some dollars that I had in my cart.

[00:29:12]>> I understand.

[00:29:13]Um I wasn't involved in the case, obviously I just came in to transport that.

[00:29:28]>> Target has good cameras so they can see how much exactly >> Mhm.

[00:29:33]>> was in your buggy.

[00:29:36]>> Right.

[00:29:36]>> So, if it's less than that 750, then they'll they'll do a correction in the court.

[00:29:43]>> Okay.

[00:29:44]>> Okay.

[00:29:45]>> Mhm.

[00:29:46]>> Get out of here.

[00:29:48]>> Good afternoon. You got a cell with one female for the jail?

[00:29:51]>> Can I get your ID number, please?

[00:29:53]>> Loss prevention had already identified both subjects operating in concert before police arrived.

[00:29:59]That prior observation provided the articulable individualized suspicion required under Terry versus Ohio to justify a brief investigative detention the moment the officer made contact. The officer's decision to request a receipt before making any physical contact is legally significant.

[00:30:15]Under the Fourth Amendment, a detention must be no more intrusive than necessary.

[00:30:20]Asking for proof of purchase is proportionate to the circumstances and consistent with de-escalation doctrine required by modern use of force policy.

[00:30:28]The subject claimed she had paid via Apple Pay, but said her phone storage was preventing the receipt from loading.

[00:30:34]She had multiple opportunities to produce it.

[00:30:37]Each refusal accompanied by continued retreat narrowed the legal space available to her and widened the legal authority of the officer to escalate.

[00:30:46]When the subject broke into a full run toward the parking lot, the encounter crossed a statutory threshold.

[00:30:52]Florida Statutes Section 843.02 defines resisting an officer without violence as obstructing or opposing a law enforcement officer engaged in the lawful execution of a legal duty. Flight is not neutral conduct under Florida law.

[00:31:07]The Supreme Court in Illinois versus Wardlow held that unprovoked flight upon the approach of law enforcement is a factor contributing to probable cause.

[00:31:16]Combined with the active shoplifting detention flight here established probable cause to arrest independent of whether the theft itself is ultimately proven. The officer's trainee caught the subject and executed a takedown.

[00:31:29]The applicable standard comes from Graham versus Connor, which held that the reasonableness of force must be evaluated from the perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene at the moment of the decision not in hindsight.

[00:31:40]Graham directs courts to weigh three factors: the severity of the crime at issue, whether the subject poses an immediate threat to the safety of officers or others, and whether the subject is actively resisting or attempting to flee.

[00:31:53]All three factors here supported the use of takedown and ground control techniques. The crime was a third-degree felony.

[00:32:00]Florida Statutes Section 812.014 Subsection 2 Paragraph C classifies theft of property valued at $750 or more as grand theft, a felony, not a misdemeanor.

[00:32:13]The elevated offense level matters when assessing proportionate force. The subject was actively resisting commands while on the ground, and the officer had already witnessed her flee across a public parking lot.

[00:32:25]The takedown and restraint appear consistent with the force authorized under Florida Statutes Section 776.05, which permits force reasonably necessary to prevent escape or affect a lawful arrest. One factual nuance warrants scrutiny.

[00:32:39]The officer acknowledged he grabbed the subject's wrist while she was still retreating before she had broken into full flight.

[00:32:45]Whether that contact was legally premature depends on whether the detention had already ripened into a lawful arrest at that moment.

[00:32:52]That question is one a defense attorney will almost certainly raise. Following the arrest, the subject was placed in a patrol vehicle and EMS was summoned after she reported difficulty breathing and disclosed a pre-existing heart murmur.

[00:33:05]Florida law and PBSO policy require medical clearance before transporting any arrestee who presents a medical complaint.

[00:33:13]Calling EMS was not discretionary, it was mandatory.
