Walmart is rolling out body cameras for employees in response to rising retail theft and aggressive customer behavior. While cameras in stores are nothing new, this move raises key questions about how far security measures should go.
On December 18, 2024, LawPLA Managing Attorney Parag Amin appeared on KTLA News to analyze this controversial development. With California retailers facing a 91% increase in shoplifter violence since 2019 and new state workplace violence prevention laws taking effect, the timing couldn’t be more significant.
In this KTLA News segment, Attorney Parag Amin explains how body cameras fit into today’s retail surveillance landscape and what this means for customers and employees alike. Are body cameras the right step to enhance safety, or do they cross a privacy line?
