what can you tell me about civil recovery? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.188.45.53 (talk • contribs)

Civil recovery demands
I don't see why another article is needed for the same topic. They should be merged. Tijfo098 (talk) 19:17, 22 October 2012 (UTC)


 * possibly, but I did the first step, divided into sections to make the different legal systems distinct.  Merged or not, what I remain concerned with is NPOV and undue emphasis. This was clearly written for the purposes of advocacy. Whether I might agree with the advocacy is irrelevant.  DGG ( talk ) 21:37, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

I think Wikipedia should be concerned with telling the whole truth about Civil Recovery and Civil Demand which would probably be found "unconstitutional" if these civil demand laws were ever tested in the highest courts. These laws are fiscally expedient for the retailers and the state and the local bar associations but the definition of "stealing" in the law had to be changed and manipulated in order to treat shoplifting as the "completed" offense of larceny. These laws are really a legalized form of extortion but efficient in controlling the "dishonest" masses,  apparently. It would be possible to stop almost all shoplifting at checkout with the technology that is now available but, of course,  why would you want to do this when the current system is so lucrative? Hey! when the arrest or stop is made under the authority of a city-licensed security guard and you can get your merchandise back and $200 more why not encourage "stealing" in the interests of your bottom line.

Clean up
I've attempted to expand, cite and generally clean up the article. The article could perhaps do with some information on other common law jurisdictions (Canada, Aus, NZ etc) and any civil jurisdictions were this exists. I've also merged this and the Civil Recovery Demand page as per the brief conversation above. Sotakeit (talk) 15:08, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
