Is it illegal to take security tags off clothes and run out the store?

Question

or tags that would set off the alarms

Answer 1

That is called:

Stealing.

If you put a knife into someone else's body and then pull it out, it is assault.

If you make a fire and put it on a home, it is arson.

If you put your peepee into a screaming girl, it is rape.

If you are hungry, eat food.

Please slap your mother very hard.

Answer 2

As the security tags do not belong to you, it is illegal to steal them from the owner.  

Answer 3

ummm, yeahhh....

Answer 4

lol  You're joking right?

Anything you take out of a store without paying for is considered shoplifting.  So yes, it is illegal.

Answer 5

they said since your so smart they will let YOU do it, go on now....

Answer 6

Yep yep.  And technically, it's not "shoplifting", its "robbery".  But by all means, try it out.  See what happens and let us know.

Answer 7

duh

Answer 8

illegal yo.

Answer 9

Yes, and it's probably "shoplifting" to even attempt to remove the tags in the first place, at least in states that prohibit "hiding" goods while still in the store. At the very least it is trespassing and you could be sued for any damage to the tags or to the clothing.

Answer 10

Of course it's illegal. Whoever tries this will surely be arrested for retail theft.

Answer 11

I believe that is the definition of stealing
