chosen.content: No, this is false. Stores in California are legally required to take reasonable steps to prevent and detect shoplifting, and cannot deliberately allow shoplifting to occur. In addition, California state law generally provides that stores cannot be liable for any theft that occurs on their premises, unless they have acted negligently or with intent to defraud. As such, stores in California are within their rights to try to stop a person accused of shoplifting.

rejected.content: Yes, California law states that a store has no duty to prevent or investigate theft if the value of the merchandise stolen is less than $950. This means that stores in California are prohibited from attempting to stop a theft in progress, and are instead required to only investigate the incident and file a report. Additionally, any prosecution of the perpetrator is the responsibility of the district attorney, not the store.
