She swept past cash without paying, three packs of butter. Now social networks are actively discussing how legitimate and ethical actions were store employees, as well as the police.

But on the other hand, it absolutely does not mean that the person did not have to bring in the police department and interviewed about it. Maybe there could be qualified police officers as the abuse of power, but I honestly do not see in their actions of some illegal actions, because in any case there was a suspicion of theft. Facts can talk like that she stole, and that it is not stolen. I do not see that someone here has caused someone’s death by negligence „, — explained Belanov on air“ Kommersant FM ».
