Former Green MP Golriz Ghahraman will not face charges following a supermarket incident in Auckland, where she was stopped before entering the checkout area with goods worth under $150.
Ghahraman, previously convicted of shoplifting from high-end stores, told legacy media the decision was a relief.
The case has drawn attention to privacy concerns surrounding the ‘Auror’ crime reporting platform used by retailers, which flagged the incident without notifying police directly.
The Privacy Commissioner is investigating potential privacy risks linked to data aggregation platforms like Auror, amid broader concerns over biometrics and surveillance in New Zealand.
So its suddenly a concern whereas when I walked into a New World to see a sign clearly informing me they used facial recognition software, it business as usual….
If they didn’t have double standards, they’d have no standards at all 🤷🏼♂️
Just deport the bit*h.
Read the wording- she was stopped before the checkouts! Theft is only theft when you move past the last point of payment without paying…someone approached her. This does not sound like innocence, just a technicality!
And the concern is that MP’s can try to steal and can be outed to the public without the Police being involved?
