Cameras are cheap nowadays. Stores can set them on every single aisle. Then PROSECUTE to fullest extent of law. Send some of these jerks to jail and the rest of them will get the message.

Retailers who refuse to enhance surveillance and/or prosecute will find themselves being sued by customers for lack of reasonably safeguarding public health.

Why retailers? Don't you think mfg and consumers need to shoulder some of the responsibility too? If you can't be bothered to check if a seal is still intact that's on you as a consumer. Other than produce most products I buy do have some sort of seal on them, so I don't see this as a huge problem. Certainly not enough of a potential problem that I want to see cost increased to absorb the amount of payroll it would take to monitor entire stores in real time. Jeez, the little store I work in has 14 cameras alone and only a few of them actually cover any part of an aisle on the sales floor.

Youre out of touch with reality. This could help if you knew an offense happened, when and where, and just needed to id a suspect(still very difficult) or have evidence for court

If you think it would catch incidents youre wrong because humans have to view all that footage. Hell the only reason we could id this guy is his buddy filmed it. Store security cams from above wouldnt show his face hes got a beanie on.

For some of these people this YouTube video is their lifetime crowning achievement. This person has peaked. This is the most he will ever achieve in life.

So is this what was meant when they said the most desired career among young children is YouTuber (a.k.a. ice cream licker or iced tea spitter)?

If so then I'd like to make a swap, legalizing prostitution and prohibiting YouTubing.

A bunch of people watching another bunch of morons doing stupid stuff. It’s like jackass only not famous. I got a link once with some kid out in farmland USA and he was absolutely beating the everliving crap out of this truck for his you tube channel.
If YouTube really wanted to stop this behavior they would simply delete such videos where people tamper with foods at stores. This bs is gonna become some stupid “challenge” and you’re gonna have a bunch of disgusting people doing this to foods. All because they want to go viral and make money.
I bet this animal thinks what he did was funny. In some states it’s a felony others a misdemeanor

It's obvious to me the incentive to do these things is online notoriety, so make that part of the crime. Maybe we should start introducing laws that add time or additional fines to anything posted online (like some places do when a crime is committed with a gun or how speeding in a school zone adds to a fine).

If the sentence for a food tampering case ends up being a year probation, make it two years probation if the crime is also posted online or recorded to be posted online. If the sentence is a $5,000 fine, make it a $10,000 fine if posted online or recorded.

And fine YouTube too if the number of posted incidents exceeds some limit or if YouTube doesn't report these things to the authorities (and make it a fine worth having so they are inclined to remove these things and therefore reducing the appeal).

Yeah, the online element could be legally determined to be inciting others to commit a crime.

It might be onerous for youtube to have view to view every video for things like this. Viewers should help them out by using the reporting tools and Youtube should be diligent in reporting the users to the legal authorities. As long as Youtube helps the authorities in this way I see no need to fine them.
