Judge Jeffrey Middleton "I’m not a big fan of this charge (skip scanning), I rant against it about 3 times a week. ... I don't like being Walmart's enforcer for $32.40. ..."; "This crime didn't exist a few years ago and now we get a ton of them so for $32.40 the police department has to go out there respond to this complaint at the cost of the taxpayers they prepare a report send it to the prosecutor ... I guess it's more profitable to have some theft particularly if all this part of it isn't on their dime but on the taxpayers dime."
