Original Note:
Tice argues that shoplifting under £200 is ignored by police. This is a widely propagated myth. Shoplifting any value is a criminal offence. The £200 element is the different between it being treated as a summary offence or a more serious offence. Both still punishable in law. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/ps200-shoplifting-rule#:~:text=The%20Anti%2DSocial%20Behaviour%2C%20Crime,weeks%2C%20fined%2C%20or%20both.
