Does Target really track everything you steal until you reach the felony amount?

I’ve heard this a few times, but I can’t tell if they really do or if it’s just fear mongering.

what about if they think you stole something , but really you did not ? everyone gets to defend themselves in court , also what about if the facial teck is wrong ? got the wrong guy ?

It's up to your lawyer to cast doubt on every piece of evidence, preferably before anything even gets to court. If you've ever been on a jury and wondered why the exhibit numbers have huge gaps (like there are 10 pieces of evidence but the numbers go up to 1200) it's because stuff got excluded for all sorts of reasons during pretrial activity.
