they are often recognizable from the face

– How realistic it is that such a law is passed?

– This is realistic, as a similar restriction is already applied to bullies that have disturbed public order at events – they may be penalized for prohibiting certain events. In addition, in case law for those who have already committed a criminal offense, various measures are used, such as visiting certain places, being at home at a time or being allowed to shop only in set hours. Thus, there are already such precedents in Lithuania.

The solution itself is not out of space – it is already applied, but of course it takes time to resolve all related issues, especially for data protection, duration and other details. We wouldn’t use artificial intelligence. It is necessary to mature the idea itself, to understand that these penalties are imposed for regular irregularities, not good deeds. There are not many such persons – the police mentioned 227 such persons.

– If the event is personalized, it is clear that you will not allow you. And how would it work in stores?

– And now the outlets are monitored with video cameras, and they are sitting at staff. There are not many of those individuals, so they are often recognizable from the face. However, now the employees cannot take any action before the person is already loading the basket and has not been paid because the store is a public place. If the ban were to visit, then, even if the misconduct itself, it would be possible to access and politely say that darkness, you cannot be here.

We were offered to use facial control, but we cannot because according to case law, stores are recognized as a public place and we cannot ask people.

And the image of the image would be obtained, the shop, as one of the victims, form a protocol, has all the data about that person. If the penalty were imposed, the police would pass the data by secure channels that image and thus be recognized by the person – we have already worked with the police this algorithm. It works in the same principle in the event of events – it is no innovation.

– You have been offering this idea for years. The past government was informed. What is the current position of the ministry, do you support you?

– No, we will certainly not be alone. We have been working with all institutions for six years and have achieved great progress. The legal framework is clear – thefts are summed up, criminal liability, some of which are lost. Says that when two lose freedom, traders feel relief.

Now that the legal framework is running, but the theft is still increasing, there may be a lack of such prevention, or maybe there is a lack of implementation in order. The ministry, the prosecutor’s office, the police, in a word, of all stakeholders are offered various proposals. At least ten offers could be counted. So even if that prevention method has to wait for a while, other improvements can certainly be waited. There is no urgency as the quarantine.

– What are the losses of traders and what is mostly stolen?

– Those goods that can be realized in the secondary market are stolen. There are organized groups that take the goods by cars and then sell it. One of the highlights was to see where those points are, because there is a shadow, no VAT, PIT. When it comes to losses, it is difficult to talk because the number of thieves can be multiplied by five. About 40 thousand people are detained a year. but some of the goods are returned if they are not damaged. These are long -term consumer goods – alcohol, perfume, toys.

Losses are calculated from 1 to 3 percent. profit. But this is just a part because much is not damaged, and even greater losses are detected during the inventory. It is then difficult to trace whether it is theft or, for example, the commodity has broken or crashed. Losses are not only financial – police, protection, workers waste time, and the shadow economy is booming. Traders pay income tax even from stolen items. In a word, the beaten carries an unpolved.
