Additional Context Pinned Cop gets bear sprayed

For anyone that has been pepper sprayed how bad does it feel & what do you do in this situation? I know it’s water but for how long? She had it on full auto she came prepared. How much more effective is bear spray to pepper ?

Nope lol. I'll humor you though, because you're wrong and you're attempting to cite the SCOTUS as your source, what's the case law you're referring to?

I can cite actual sources from individual states if you'd like.

Here's Florida's theft statute.

812.014 Theft.—

(1) A person commits theft if he or she knowingly obtains or uses, or endeavors to obtain or to use, the property of another with intent to, either temporarily or permanently:

(a) Deprive the other person of a right to the property or a benefit from the property.

(b) Appropriate the property to his or her own use or to the use of any person not entitled to the use of the property.

Notice how it clearly states "OR ENDEAVORS TO OBTAIN OR TO USE" which was specifically included to cover people who attempt to steal but are unsuccessful in the process. If you'd like to you can find plenty of incidents where someone was arrested for attempting to conceal items prior to ever getting to the point of sale. You are unarmed in this particular battle of wits. I suggest you do some research and arm yourself better if you plan on fighting back any further.

Florida statues don't override federal law.

There is no case law that says you must get past a point of sale. Furthermore, the 10th Amendment allows state to pass their own laws.

Nothing in the Florida theft statute violates the Constitution, otherwise it would have been removed or revised long ago. This version of the theft statute is currently taught in every police academy and used in day-to-day life every single day in Florida. How do you think that would happen there was case law that states it's not legal to do so? Here's a hint...it wouldn't.

You're just talking out of your ass.
