A body cam video of three Indians caught stealing from a Walmart in Florida on October 17, 2024, has been released by a YouTube channel as such incidents have become more common and are being reported more. Body Cam Watch, the YouTube channel, said that the three Indians were charged with petit theft and the charges were later dismissed as each of them completed a pre-trail diversion program.
But the video drew sharp reactions. "They heard America was land of the free and took it literally," one wrote. "So they have money for plane tickets from Australia, but don't want to pay for their groceries at Walmart? Disgusting," another wrote as the man in the video said he was originally from India but came to the US from Australia.
