Under Target's new policy, a man can decide to visit the women's bathroom or fitting room whenever he chooses, <b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">including <a href="http://www.flushtarget.com/registered-sex-offenders/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #1982d1; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">registered sex offenders</a>!</b> No one can stop him. Besides defying common sense, Target's decision puts guests at risk. <a href="http://www.flushtarget.com/top-twenty-sexual-crimes-committed-at-target-stores/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #1982d1; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"> History has shown</a> this is one of the ways sexual predators get access to their victims.</div>

Target Already Had a Solution for Transgender Persons</h3>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: red; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Our opposition to Target's policy is not about transgender persons.</span> Its comes from the fact that <span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: red; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Target's policy opens the door for sexual predators </span>to take advantage of women and children. Most Target stores currently have unisex bathrooms. These bathrooms are available to individuals who self-identify as transgender persons. But this was not good enough for Target. Target had to show they were "progressive" and "politically correct", even if it meant endangering women and children!</div>

Take Action</h2>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">This is a defining moment for our society</b>. If Target's policy is allowed to stand, every major retailer will likely adopt a similar policy. However, if enough of us take action NOW, we can stop this from happening by getting Target to rescind this terrible policy.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
We must convince Target that its in the best interest of their company, their shareholders, their customers and the communities they serve to rescind its uni-sex bathroom policy. Only YOU can make a difference by taking one or more of the actions listed below (just click on a button for the details).</div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: #003300; font-family: trebuchet ms;"><strong>The original source of these 'Directives' is Mr. Scott Hundt, a former asset protection specialist at a Target store in Wisconsin. He kept a copy of the Directives when he was 'terminated' in June 2006 and subsequently posted them on the internet and forwarded me a copy in July 2006 and I also posted them on my blog.</strong></span>

<br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: #003300; font-family: trebuchet ms;"><strong>Shortly after this, it came to the attention of Tarbutt, that their AP Directives were online and they leaned on Hundt who caved in immediately and removed them from the site he had posted them on. My blog has kept them posted since I first received them.</strong></span> <a href="http://images-partners-tbn.google.com/images?q=tbn:FNmd2LSwe1xH7M:www.modestogov.com/mpd/crimestoppers/banks.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://images-partners-tbn.google.com/images?q=tbn:FNmd2LSwe1xH7M:www.modestogov.com/mpd/crimestoppers/banks.jpg" style="cursor: hand; float: right; height: 128px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; width: 114px;" /></a>
<br />
<br /><strong><span style="color: #003300; font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">I also placed information of the availability of the Directives on various 'message boards', sometimes with the below summary.</span></span></strong></span>

I found that the sites universally caved in to the demands and removed the information and in most cases both deleted my screen name and banned me from their sites. I had at one time a blog titled: TargetSucks and that blog host was also contacted and deleted the blog. see letter at:</span></span></strong></span>

</strong><strong></strong><span style="color: red; font-size: 130%;">
</span>
<br />
<strong>Certified AP team members must observe all five steps prior to making a shoplifter apprehension.</strong>
<br />
<br />
NOTE: If local law enforcement takes independent action and makes an apprehension before all five steps are met, the details must be documented in the CIRS report.
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">1.</span> <strong>Initiation of Observation - The subject must enter the store/area without possession of Target merchandise.</strong>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">2.</span> <strong>Selection - The subject must be observed selecting Target merchandise from the display location.</strong>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">3.</span> <strong>Concealment - The subject must be observed concealing the merchandise, or the AP team member must have NO reasonable doubt based on observations that the merchandise has been concealed by the subject.</strong>
<br />
<br />
NOTE: If the merchandise is not actually concealed, it must be exposed as the subject exits or attempts to exit the store.
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">4.</span> <strong>Maintain Observation - The AP team member must maintain sufficient surveillance of the subject in order to know the location of the merchandise and ensure the subject does not discard the merchandise.</strong>
<br />
<br />
NOTE: A Productive Merchandise Recovery (PMR) shall be attempted if surveillance is broken for any reason, or the AP team member can not maintain sufficient surveillance. (See PMR Directive)
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">5.</span> <strong>Failure to Pay for Merchandise/Exiting the Store -AP team member(s) must observe the subject attempt to exit the store without paying for the merchandise.</strong>
<br />
<br />
<br />
NOTE: Some jurisdictions allow variances from the exiting requirement to allow apprehensions of concealed merchandise before an individual reaches the building’s exit. In these cases, the requirements must be documented and approved by the Director or Vice President of Assets Protection using the “Variance from Exiting Form” (found on the AP Zone).
<br />

Doe<span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;">Background:</span> </strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong></strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong>This is the 4th year this site has been up and running. The site exists to showcase the Target AP Directives and they are here in full later in the blog.<br /><br />The original source of these 'Directives' is Mr. Scott Hundt, a former asset protection specialist at a Target store in Wisconsin. He kept a copy of the Directives when he was 'terminated' in June 2006 and subsequently posted them on the internet and forwarded me a copy in July 2006 and I also posted them on my blog.<br /><br />Shortly after this, it came to the attention of Tarbutt, that their AP Directives were online and they leaned on Hundt who caved in immediately and removed them from the site he had posted them on. My blog has kept them posted since I first received them.<br /><br />I also placed information of the availability of the Directives on various 'message boards', sometimes with the below summary.<br /><br />Tarbutt sent threatening letters and emails to these sites demanding the information be deleted. I found that the sites universally caved in to the demands and removed the information and in most cases both deleted my screen name and banned me from their sites. I had at one time a blog titled: TargetSucks and that blog host was also contacted and deleted the blog. see letter at:<br /><a href="http://www.retail-worker.com/documents/20060727.target_cease_and_desist.pdf">http://www.retail-worker.com/documents/20060727.target_cease_and_desist.pdf</a> </strong></span><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong><br /><br />This blog site has been here for 4 years and was the subject of 23 months of litigation wherein Tarbutt whinned about it and insisted damages be paid and the information removed, but on July 16, 2008 the case was tossed out by Judge Cooper in Atlanta Federal Court. So for the moment anyway, the 1st Ammendment remains in effect.<br /><br />I estimate that the total cost to Tarbutt was 250k and to me it was $0. Although I don't like Tarbutt, I would really suggest that they find better legal representation than Faegre & Benson (http://www.faegre.com/) for their outsourced legal work, they really did a crappy job.<br /><br />Just FYI here is a brief glimpse of what is contained in those 39 or so pages, which you will find in full, later in this blog:</strong></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"><strong>From: Target AP Directives<br /></strong></span><br />C. Five Steps for Apprehension<br /><br /><br />Certified AP team members must observe all five steps prior to making a shoplifter apprehension.<br /><br />NOTE: If local law enforcement takes independent action and makes an apprehension before all five steps are met, the details must be documented in the CIRS report.<br /><br />1. Initiation of Observation - The subject must enter the store/area without possession of Target merchandise.<br /><br />2. Selection - The subject must be observed selecting Target merchandise from the display location.<br /><br />3. Concealment - The subject must be observed concealing the merchandise, or the AP team member must have NO reasonable doubt based on observations that the merchandise has been concealed by the subject.<br /><br />NOTE: If the merchandise is not actually concealed, it must be exposed as the subject exits or attempts to exit the store.<br /><br />4. Maintain Observation - The AP team member must maintain sufficient surveillance of the subject in order to know the location of the merchandise and ensure the subject does not discard the merchandise.<br /><br />NOTE: A Productive Merchandise Recovery (PMR) shall be attempted if surveillance is broken for any reason, or the AP team member can not maintain sufficient surveillance. (See PMR Directive)<br /><br />5. Failure to Pay for Merchandise/Exiting the Store -AP team member(s) must observe the subject attempt to exit the store without paying for the merchandise.<br /><br /><br />NOTE: Some jurisdictions allow variances from the exiting requirement to allow apprehensions of concealed merchandise before an individual reaches the building’s exit. In these cases, the requirements must be documented and approved by the Director or Vice President of Assets Protection using the “Variance from Exiting Form” (found on the AP Zone).<br /><br />----------------------------------------------<br /><br />D. Restroom / Fitting Room<br /><br /><br />Apprehensions AP team members are not allowed to conduct surveillance or make apprehensions in restroom and/or fitting rooms.<br /><br />1. AP team members are not allowed to follow subject’s into a restroom or fitting room to conduct surveillance.<br /><br />2. AP team members shall not ask another team member to enter a fitting room or restroom to conduct surveillance.<br /><br />-------------------------------------------------<br /><br />B. Searches of Private Residence or Motor Vehicles<br /><br />1. AP team members will NOT participate in a search of a private residence or motor vehicle.<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------<br /><br />1. Fleeing Shoplifter<br /><br />a. If a shoplifter attempts to flee after being confronted, do not give chase in any manner (running, driving, etc.).<br /><br />b. Store based AP team members shall not use any vehicle to follow or pursue a subject for any reason.<br /><br />c. AP team members shall not encourage, condone, suggest or ask another Target team member or anyone else to chase a fleeing shoplifter.<br /><br />2. AP shall refer for prosecution all individuals apprehended for retail theft when the value of the merchandise is $20.00 or greater and the case meets local prosecution requirements.<br /><br /><br />NOTE: If a case meets/exceeds the $20.00 referral guideline, but is NOT referred, the reason for non-referral must be included in the CIRS narrative. (Example: Local jurisdiction limits require merchandise in excess of $75.00 in order for prosecution.)<br /><br /><br />3. A team member witness, of the same gender of the suspected shoplifter , must be present in the room at all times during the detention.<br /><br />--------------------------------------------<br /><br />A. Photographing Shoplifters<br /><br />1. Adult shoplifters - AP shall photograph all adult shoplifters unless prohibited by local statutes or ordinances.<br /><br />2. Team Member Shoplifters - AP will not photograph any team member apprehended for shoplifting during working or non-working hours.<br /><br /><br />3. Juvenile Shoplifters - AP will not photograph any juveniles apprehended for shoplifting, unless required by local statutes or ordinances.<br /><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">===================================<br /></span></strong>Concerned Consumerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07277351883239747075noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575529513437880886.post-82554867703190189832009-04-29T15:04:00.002-04:002009-04-29T22:14:09.314-04:00F.Y.I.:<a href="http://www.consumerist.com/assets/resources/2006/09/targetarrow-thumb.gif"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 177px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 107px" alt="" src="http://www.consumerist.com/assets/resources/2006/09/targetarrow-thumb.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;">This blog and others was set up some years ago when it seemed that Tarbutt 'might' prevail in shutting down my major site at: </span></strong><a href="http://targetfiling.blogspot.com/"><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;">http://targetfiling.blogspot.com</span></strong></a><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;"> they did have some initial victories in getting my posts about the Target AP Directives removed from several message boards and even some banned my screen name. </span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;">During that period I was busy with putting up sites like this so that in the event I lost the court case regarding that blog, that at least some sites with the info would continue.<br /><br />This and other blogs are now secondary sites and not kept up to date as this </span></strong><a href="http://targetfiling.blogspot.com/"><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;">http://targetfiling.blogspot.com</span></strong></a><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;"> site, so you might want to go to the other site as it remains open for business, the civil suit was tossed out of Federal court in Atlanta July 2008.</span></strong></div>Concerned Consumerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07277351883239747075noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575529513437880886.post-89495073563936753722009-04-11T18:24:00.001-04:002009-04-11T18:24:42.021-04:00<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"><strong>This is a 'mini blog' with only a few Target items FYI. </strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"><strong></strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"><strong>Please click on: </strong></span><a href="http://www.targetfiling.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><strong><em>www.targetfiling.blogspot.com</em></strong></span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"><strong> to be directed to my 4 year old Target Sucks blog which has many informative articles about Target along with information on 2 Target civil suits and also the Target AP Directives, the latter is something that Target Corporation tried for 23 months to keep off the internet but their efforts were finally tossed out of Federal Court in Atlanta in July 2008.</strong></span>Target Security Informationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14910482203005902265noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575529513437880886.post-55631587117797194732009-04-08T09:53:00.001-04:002009-04-08T09:53:41.535-04:00Another site you might want to look at:<span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">When you finish looking at this site you might want to take a look at one called Job Vent.

Target Corporation</span></strong><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">On Feb 19th the case that has bounced around since approx 3/06 was resolved with a verdict against the Target Corporation for $500,000 (+15K in costs).<br /><br />You might recall that last year it was dismissed after Target put on its case and before Therrien’s case could be presented. The matter was appealed on the basis that the Federal Judge James Payne had not considered the new changes to Oklahoma statutes and had thur ruled incorrectly. So the case was retired with the result that Target lost. (of course they also can appeal)<br /><br />Briefly: <em><span style="color:#3333ff;">"Plaintiff claims damages for injuries suffered as an invitee upon Defendant’s premises as the result of a criminal assault."<br /></span></em><br />Translation: a good samaritan came to assist a Tarbutt screwup security weenie who was having a problem arresting a shoplifter, and had called out for help from anyone, the helpful customer (Timothy Therrien) ended up knifed and as usual this screwed up company wouldn't compensate the man for his serious injuries.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">The moral of this story is: <strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">TARGET SUCKS</span></strong>. It was a lot of work for Therrien for a rather low award, but it is nice to finally see that he was the winner in this. You might be interested in knowing that the Target AP Directives were used against Target (I sent them a copy) and also a lot of other AP information was obtained and entered in the case.</span>Target Security Informationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14910482203005902265noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575529513437880886.post-87436168627696389422009-03-21T00:36:00.000-04:002009-03-24T00:36:54.554-04:00<span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;">Today in History:</span><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><script src="http://pub40.bravenet.com/history/remote.php?usernum=3420323947&cpv=2" type="text/javascript"><br /></script></div>Concerned Consumerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07277351883239747075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575529513437880886.post-74300717033405346062009-03-20T08:45:00.000-04:002009-03-22T08:46:08.438-04:00<strong>

<br />
<br />If you are a dissatisfied Tarbutt AP secret squirrel or a laid off, or about to be laid off employee, you can always fax the new copy of the Target AP Directives or other interesting documents to Mr. Doe at 801 439-6387 and we can update this site (that should be good for another 2 years of litigation). Or you could just start a blog of your own and publish them and we can put a direct link to them here. This is a good site for new blogs: http://www.blogspot.com/

<br />
<br />
<br />In trolling the web I found a site called: Job Vent, I was interested in the Company Reviews for Target Corporation, although you can look up other firms as well.
<br />
<br />Here is two comment from the site:
<br />
<br />Brandon, FL:
<br />....All LODs are both lazy and incompetent. You never see them out on the sales floor actually doing their jobs. The amount of theft is thru the roof 'cause security is rarely on duty or just too relaxed about it.
<br />Minneapolis, MN:
<br />I've been at headquarters as an exempt employee for 12 plus years. Whatever that means...other than its time to get out.
<br />
<br />Things to know before you jump in....
<br />I have the time and experience to know this company has gone down hill over the past five years from an employee perspective. As further proof, I get to see someone leave on a weekly basis in my area. Probably tired of everything I'm going to mention including the Target lingo, workload, and cult. . .

Purpose<br />This section lists the steps that MUST be followed in order for an AP team member to make a shoplifting apprehension. All steps must be observed, unless otherwise noted, and a detailed description of each step documented in the CIRS case narrative.<br />B. Certification<br />Only certified AP team members are authorized to apprehend or assist in the apprehension of shoplifters. Certification is received upon the completion of the following AP Academy courses:<br /><br />1. Nonviolent Crisis Intervention R - must be completed within 30 days of hire date.<br />2. Position's Basic Training Courses<br />3. External Apprehension Certification<br />C. Five Steps for Apprehension<br />Certified AP team members must observe all five steps prior to making a shoplifter apprehension.<br /><br />NOTE: If local law enforcement takes independent action and makes an apprehension before all five steps are met, the details must be documented in the CIRS report.<br /><br />1. Initiation of Observation - The subject must enter the store/area without possession of Target merchandise.<br />2. Selection - The subject must be observed selecting Target merchandise from the display location.<br />3. Concealment - The subject must be observed concealing the merchandise, or the AP team member must have NO reasonable doubt based on observations that the merchandise has been concealed by the subject.<br />NOTE: If the merchandise is not actually concealed, it must be exposed as the subject exits or attempts to exit the store.<br />4. Maintain Observation - The AP team member must maintain sufficient surveillance of the subject in order to know the location of the merchandise and ensure the subject does not discard the merchandise. NOTE: A Productive Merchandise Recovery (PMR) shall be attempted if surveillance is broken for any reason, or the AP team member can not maintain sufficient surveillance. (See PMR Directive).<br />5. Failure to Pay for Merchandise/Exiting the Store -AP team member(s) must observe the subject attempt to exit the store without paying for the merchandise.<br />NOTE: Some jurisdictions allow variances from the exiting requirement to allow apprehensions of concealed merchandise before an individual reaches the building’s exit. In these cases, the requirements must be documented and approved by the Director or Vice President of Assets Protection using the “Variance from Exiting Form” (found on the AP Zone).<br /><br /><br />SAFENESS - SUBJECT WITH A WEAPONRevision: 01-2006 Effective: 02-22-2006<br />A. Purpose<br /><br />The safety of Target team members and guests is our highest priority. Exercising appropriate caution in the process of making an apprehension is critical.<br /><br />B. Subject with a Weapon<br /><br />1. Weapon - A weapon is defined as any object that could potentially be used against a<br />team member or guest. Weapons include, but are not limited to, box cutters, knives,<br />scissors, screw drivers, hand guns, stun guns, chemical agents and clubs.<br />2. If a weapon is used or displayed, or if any AP team member has reason to believe a<br />subject is in possession of a weapon during any of the five apprehension steps:<br />a. Back away and do not attempt to make an apprehension.<br />WARNING: Do not put another team member at risk by requesting the subject be “Guest Serviced”.<br /><br />CAUTION: If subject is observed cutting merchandise with an unknown object, treat that object as a weapon and follow steps listed in 2. above.<br /><br />b. Contact law enforcement and advise:<br />1. Your name and title,<br />2. Your phone number,<br />3. Store location / address,<br />4. Description and location of the subject, and<br />5. Type of weapon being used by the subject.<br />NOTE: If law enforcement cannot respond, allow the subject to leave the store and document the subject’s description,subject’s vehicle description and any merchandise taken from the store, and document the case in CIRS as a Known Theft Report (KTR).<br />c.

Situations Warranting a Trespass Notice<br />Trespass notices require the approval from the ETL-AP/APGTL or higher. The use of a trespass notice is appropriate in the following situations:<br />1. When a subject has been apprehended at any Target location on more than one occasion.<br />2. When a person apprehended is in possession of a weapon.<br />a. Follow procedures outline in Safeness Weapons Directive.<br />b. If a weapon is discovered while the subject is detained, the AP team member shall ensure the safety of all team members and guests first, and if possible, remove and secure the weapon and handcuff the subject. The AP team member shall then contact law enforcement to advise of situation involving a weapon.<br />CAUTION: If the subject produces a weapon in a threatening manner at any time, the AP team member(s) shall disengage and allow the subject to exit the store/DC. The AP team member shall attempt to get a description of the sub-ject’s vehicle, so long as doing it does not put anyone in danger, and enter descriptions of both the subject and the subject’s vehicle into the CIRS report.<br />3. When the person apprehended has vandalized property or merchandise.<br />4. Persons who exhibit lewd or lascivious behavior.<br />NOTE: If the AP team member(s) feel a trespass notice is warranted, but the incident does not meet the criteria listed above, the team member will partner with their DAPTL/Distribution GAPTL for approval prior to issuing the notice.<br />C. Issuing a Trespass Notice<br />1. Location - A trespass Notice shall apply only to the location where the subject was apprehended or the incident took place.<br />NOTE: A Trespass Notice can be issued for multiple locations with DAPTL/Distribution GAPTL approval. The Trespass Notice must indicate the specific store/DC locations and a specific reason for the multiple locations. The AP team member involved must document the CIRS report to indicate DAPTL/Distribution GAPTL approval and Trespass Notice locations.<br />2. All Trespass Notices must contain the following elements:<br />a. The date and time the notice was issued.<br />b. Name of the person to who the notice is being issued.<br />c. District or Region of the Target store/DC issuing the Trespass Notice<br />d. The specific store (or stores with DAPTL/Distribution GAPTL approval) from which the subject is being trespassed.<br /><br />NOTE: AP team members are NOT authorized to ban subjects from all Target stores/DCs, or ban subjects for life. All multiple location notices must be approved by the DAPTL/Distribution GAPTL prior to issuing.<br /><br />3. The completed Trespass notice shall be given to the apprehended subject and a copy of the notice retained in the case file.<br />4. Document the CIRS report to indicate a Trespass Notice was issued.<br />NOTE: A copy of a blank Trespass Notice can be found on the AP Zone, under the Forms-All tab.<br />D. Violation of a Trespass Notice<br />If an individual who has been issued a Trespass Notice violates the notice and returns to the store/DC, ask the individual to leave the property. If the individual refuses to leave, contact law enforcement for assistance and document the incident in CIRS.<br />E. Team Member Trespass Notices<br />In situations that warrant the issuance of a Trespass Notice to a team member or former team member, the following shall apply:<br />1. Immediately contact your DAPTL/Distribution GAPTL to inform them of the situation prior to issuing the Trespass Notice.<br />2. The DAPTL/Distribution GAPTL will partner with the appropriate Employee Relations / Human Resources contacts at the Regional or Headquarters level<br />ACCOMPLICES Revision: 01-2006 Effective: 02-22-2006<br />A. Shoplifter Accomplices<br />1. Target defines a shoplifter accomplice as:<br />a. A person who assists another in a crime of retail theft, but is not leaving the store with merchandise.<br />b. Someone for whom only some of the five apprehension steps have been observed.<br />2. AP team members may detain all active participants in a shoplifting incident only when all five apprehension steps have been observed for each participant.<br />3. Since a shoplifter accomplice only participated in some of the five apprehension steps they will not be detained, questioned or referred to authorities for prosecution.<br />NOTE: If local law enforcement takes independent action and makes an apprehension before all five steps are met, the details must be documented in the CIRS report.<br />B. Box Stuffing Accomplice<br />Box stuffing is defined as “When a person puts merchandise inside a box or in packaging of another product, he/she pays for what product should be in the box, but not the correct merchandise.”<br /><br />1.

An AP team member observes the individual select the merchandise and bring it to a cashier lane.<br />b. The individual makes the purchase with either a check or cash, thus verifying the individual knew the amount of the purchase.<br />NOTE: Apprehensions of team member accomplices shall not be made on credit card purchases.<br />c. The items purchased have been line item voided, zero transactions total or passed outright.<br />d. The under ringing or merchandise passing must result in a significant difference in the purchase price to support the inference that the subject and accomplice were knowingly participating in a crime. (Example: Purchasing a DVD player for $2.50 can indicate the guest was participating in an under ringing crime.)<br />e. The incident must be captured on conventional or digital CCTV.<br /><br />3. Apprehension Procedures<br /><br />a. Apprehend the individual as they leave the store and process as an external shoplifting case.<br />b.

Doe Federal Court Case<span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT<br />NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA<br />ATLANTA DIVISION</strong><br /></span></span><br />Target Corporation, a Minnesota<br />corporation,<br /><br />V<br /><br />JOHN DOE, 1 :06-CV-2116<br />Defendant<br /><br />For its Complaint, plaintiff Target Corporation ("Target") states and alleges as<br />follows<br /><br />INTRODUCTION<br /><br />Target brings this action against an Internet user who is deliberately posting Target<br />copyrighted, confidential, proprietary, and trade secret information across the Internet,<br />including to a website hosted in Minnesota. Target seeks an injunction against Defendant, as<br />well as other available legal and equitable relief arising from Defendant's tortuous actions .<br />PARTIES<br />1 . Target is a Minnesota corporation with its principal place of business in<br />Minneapolis, Minnesota .<br />2 . The true name and capacity of Defendant is unknown to Plaintiff at this time<br />Defendant is known to Plaintiff only by his Internet username "Target Sucks ." Additionally,<br />Case 1:06-cv-02116-CC Document 1-1 Filed 09/05/2006 Page 1 of 29<br /><br />2<br />mrpauljrogers@yahao com, chams46Chotmail .com, anonymousematl2@aol com,<br />ILovePie@yahoo.com, and usembassysouthafi-ica@hotmail.com<br />JURISDICTION AND VENUE<br />3 This Court hasjurisdiction under 17 U .S C § 101 et seq, 28 U .S .C.<br />§ 1331(federal question); and 28 U .S C § 1338(a) (copyright) . This Court also has<br />jurisdiction over this matter under 28 U .S C. § 1332(a)(1) because the matter in controversy<br />exceeds the sum or value of $75,000, exclusive of interest and costs, and is between citizens<br />of different states .<br />4 . Venue in this District is proper under 28 U S C § 1391 and/or 28 U .S.C<br />1400(a). Although the true identity of Defendant is unknown to Plaintiff at this time, on<br />information and belief, Defendant resides in the State of Georgia and a substantial part of the<br />acts of infringement and rrusappropriahon complained of herein occurred in this District .<br />FACTUAL BACKGROUND<br />Target's Business and Valuable Intellectual Property<br />5 Target owns and operates retail merchandise discount stores across the United<br />States . Today, Target operates more than 1400 TARGET stores, including more than 45<br />TARGET stores in Georgia<br />6. As part of its effort to protect its retail stores from physical threats and<br />financial losses, Target, through considerable effort and expense, has created loss prevention<br />procedures and protocols . One of the key loss prevention protocols created by Target is<br />Target's Asset Protection Directives ("Target AP Directives")<br />7. The Target AP Directives are a set of written methods, techniques and<br />processes that are used by Target's asset protection personnel to secure Target's merchandise<br />Case 1:06-cv-02116-CC Document 1-1 Filed 09/05/2006 Page 2 of 29<br /><br />Internet at the website wrAw .targetunion .org .<br />and other property from theft, and to deal with the apprehension of shoplifters and other<br />wrongdoers .<br />8 . The Target AP Directives are Target copyrighted, confidential, proprietary,<br />and trade secret information .<br />9 The Target AP Directives include information that is not generally known to<br />the public or in the industry .<br />10 . Target goes to considerable measures to protect the secrecy of this<br />information The Target AP Directives are password restricted and only available to those<br />employees with a "need-to-know," namely, the asset protection team .<br />11 . Target has an Information Security Policy where all employees, before<br />commencing their employment, sign an acknowledgement agreeing to maintain the<br />confidentiality of Target's non-public information . and to never disclose it to anyone outside<br />of the company.<br />Defendant's Improper Use of Target's AP Directives<br />12. On or around June 29, 2006, Defendant acquired a copy of Target's AP<br />Directives from a recently terminated Target employee, Scott Hundt ("Hundt") . Upon<br />information and belief, Hundt only knew Defendant because of his anti-Target website<br />postings Hundt sent a copy of the Target AP Directives to Defendant by email<br />13 Hundt, as a former asset protection specialist at a Target store in Wisconsin,<br />improperly kept the Target AP Directives upon termination .<br />14. On Sunday, July 2, 2006, Hundt also posted the Target AP Directives on the<br />Case 1:06-cv-02116-CC Document 1-1 Filed 09/05/2006 Page 3 of 29<br /><br />4<br />15 . On or around July 10, Target learned of Hundt's improper disclosure to<br />Defendant and the Internet. Shortly thereafter, Target contacted Hundt by telephone Hundt<br />returned Target's telephone call and acknowledged his wrongdoing . Hundt immediately<br />deleted all references to the Target AP Directives from his hard drive and from the Internet .<br />16 . Target also demanded that Hundt contact Defendant and request that<br />Defendant destroy the Target AP Directives, delete any Internet postings of the Target AP<br />Directives posted by him, and never use them again . Hundt stated that he did not know<br />Defendant's name or address, and did not personally know him, but had his email address .<br />Hundt emailed Defendant and requested him to remove the postings, but Defendant failed to<br />respond.<br />17. Hundt also provided Target with the email address that Hundt had for<br />Defendant Target emailed Hundt a cease and desist letter at that address, but received no<br />response .<br />18 Instead of abiding by Target and Hundt's demands to remove the Target AP<br />Directives, Defendant began posting the Target AP Directives on various retail-employee<br />forums on the Internet, including the following locations :<br />http //targetsucks elevation24 coin<br />http //tivwtiv. targeiuniora org<br />http 11bullseyebb .aivardspace coin<br />http ://targetstoressuck blogspot corn<br />http //wwtiv retail-worker corn<br />http .//people tribe net<br />Case 1:06-cv-02116-CC Document 1-1 Filed 09/05/2006 Page 4 of 29<br /><br />5<br />19. Beginning on or around July 12, 2006, Target, through its counsel, sent<br />demand letters to the moderators and administrators of the websites that posted Target AP<br />Directives. Target advised them that Defendant, under the alias "Target Sucks," was posting<br />improperly Target copyrighted, confidential, proprietary, and trade secret information . (A<br />copy of a sample letter sent to the moderators/administrators is attached as Ex . A )<br />20. In conjunction with writing to the moderators and/or administrators, Target<br />also attempted to contact Defendant directly by sending private messages to Defendant<br />through the forums . (A copy of two sample emails sent to Defendant are attached as Ex . B.)<br />21 In response to Target's demand letters, the administrators and/or moderators<br />removed the Target AP Directives from their websrtes .<br />22. Defendant, however, did not respond to Target's email messages . Instead,<br />Defendant re-posted the Target AP Directives as soon as the moderator and/or administrator<br />removed them from the website. Target re-contacted the moderators and/or adrrunistrators,<br />and the information was again deleted . Indeed, at least one of the websites -<br />http //targetstoressuck blogspot.com - terminated Defendant's blog .<br />23 . On July 27, 2006, the moderator of -www .retail-worker coin posted Target's<br />cease and desist letter on its website and explained why she deleted Defendant's posting of<br />the Target AP Directives . An exchange between Defendant and the moderator ensued,<br />whereby Defendant admitted that he was posting the Target AP Directives for no reason<br />other than to harm Target . (A copy of the email exchange is attached as Ex C .)<br />24. Since July 27, 2006, Defendant continues to re-post (or attempt to re-post) the<br />Target AP Directives on the Internet At websites where his blog was inactivated, he has<br />changed his username in order to be able to re-post the Target AP Directives<br />Case 1:06-cv-02116-CC Document 1-1 Filed 09/05/2006 Page 5 of 29<br /><br />6<br />25 . Defendant's actions are a complete and intentional disregard of Target's<br />property rights . Since July 27, 2006, Defendant had posted on numerous websites that<br />"Target's lawyers are monitoring this website ." In response to Target's cease and desist<br />letter, Defendant states on the Internet that he does not care whether the Target AP Directives<br />are copyrighted or trade secrets :<br />As to whether or not said info is in some form `protected', I have no idea and<br />don't care I saw it both online already posted and via email and if someone at<br />T let the cat out of the bag then that is between T and them . I didn't sign any<br />confidentiality agreement with them and really don't give a rats ass if they like<br />it or not .<br />(A copy of the posting is attached hereto as Ex . D )<br />26. Defendant has never responded to Target's demands for Defendant to cease<br />and desist posting the Target AP Directives .<br />27 . Through various investigative techniques employed by Target over the last<br />few weeks, Target believes that Defendant uses America On-Line as his Internet Service<br />Provider Target believes that information obtained in discovery will lead to the verification<br />of Defendant's true name and address<br />C OUNT I<br />Infringement of Copyrights<br />28 Target realleges and incorporates by reference herein the foregoing allegations<br />of the Complaint .<br />29 Target is, and at all relevant times has been, the copyright owners of exclusive<br />rights under United States copyright law with respect to certain copyrighted Target AP<br />Directives .<br />Case 1:06-cv-02116-CC Document 1-1 Filed 09/05/2006 Page 6 of 29<br /><br />7<br />30 . The Target AP Directives are subject to a valid Certificate of Copyright<br />Registration issued by the Registrar of Copyrights to Target as specified on Exhibit E<br />31 . Among the exclusive rights granted to Target under the Copyright Act are the<br />exclusive rights to reproduce the Target AP Directives and to distribute the Target AP<br />Directives<br />32 . Defendant, without the permission or consent of Target, has used, and<br />continues to use, the Internet, to disserrvnate and/or make available for distribution to others,<br />the Target AP Directives .<br />33 . Defendant's dissemination of the Target AP Directives is deliberate, willful,<br />malicious, oppressive, and without regard to Target's proprietary rights<br />34 . As a result of Defendant's infringement of Target's copyrights and exclusive<br />rights under copyright, Target is entitled to statutory damages pursuant to 17 U S .C § 504(c)<br />against Defendant for each infringement by Defendant . Target is also entitled to its<br />attorneys' fees and costs pursuant to 17 U S C . § 505 .<br />35 Defendant's copyright infringement, and the threat of continuing infringement,<br />has caused, and will continue to cause, Target repeated and irreparable injury . It would be<br />difficult to ascertain the amount of money damages that would afford Target adequate relief<br />at law for Defendant's acts and continuing acts, and a multiplicity ofjudicial proceedings that<br />would be required Target's remedy at law is not adequate to compensate them for the<br />injuries already inflicted and further threatened by Defendant . Therefore, Defendant should<br />be restrained and enjoined pursuant to the Copyright Act, 17 U S .C. § § 502 and 503<br />COUNT II<br />Misappropriation of Trade Secrets<br />Case 1:06-cv-02116-CC Document 1-1 Filed 09/05/2006 Page 7 of 29<br /><br />Court<br />36. Target realleges and incorporates by reference herein the foregoing allegations<br />of the Complaint.<br />37 Defendant acquired confidential and proprietary information belonging to<br />Target.<br />38 Defendant was advised that the information he acquired was Target trade<br />secret information that should not be used or disclosed by him .<br />39 After receiving notice of the confidentiality of the Target trade secret<br />information, Defendant had a duty to Target to maintain the secrecy of this information and<br />limit its use for the benefit of only Target .<br />40. This confidential and proprietary information had independent economic value<br />because it was not generally known to or readily ascertainable by persons outside of Target<br />41 Target intended to keep this information confidential and has made reasonable<br />efforts under the circumstances to maintain the secrecy of the information .<br />42. Defendant has used and/or disclosed, and continues to use and/or disclose,<br />such information without the express or implied consent of Target, for the benefit of himself .<br />Such use constitutes a violation of Ga Stat . § 10-1-760 et seq, and Georgia common law<br />principles against misappropriation of trade secrets<br />43 . As a direct and proximate cause of Defendant's misappropriation of trade<br />secrets, Target has been damaged in an amount greater than $75,000, the specific amount of<br />which shall be determined at trial In addition, Target has suffered irreparable harm and will<br />continue to suffer irreparable harm unless the conduct of the Defendant is enjoined by this<br />Case 1:06-cv-02116-CC Document 1-1 Filed 09/05/2006 Page 8 of 29<br /><br />9<br />WHEREFORE , Plaintiff Target Corporation respectfully requests judgment against<br />Defendant as follows :<br />An injunction, among other things, prohibiting Defendant from disclosing and<br />using the Target AP Directives and requiring Defendant to delete all Internet postings created<br />by him of the Target AP Directives ;<br />2. Statutory damages for each infringement pursuant to 17 U .S.C § 504;<br />Recovery of Target's costs and attorneys' fees incurred herein ; and<br />4 Any further relief that the Court deems just and equitable .<br />Case 1:06-cv-02116-CC Document 1-1 Filed 09/05/2006 Page 9 of 29<br /><br />1 0<br />DUNCAN & MANGIAFICO, PC :<br />,., Dated.

This letter is to advise<br />you that certain postings made by you of the Target 2006 Asset Protection Directives on the<br />website http //Kww retail-worker coin contain Target copyrighted, confidential, proprietary and<br />trade secret information that has been improperly disclosed .<br />As you know, the Target 2006 Asset Protection Directives include information which is<br />used in the conduct of Target's asset protection program and is not generally known to the<br />public or in the industry These directives also include copyrighted material . As we believe<br />you also know, Target goes to considerable measures to protect the secrecy of this<br />information Under Target's policies and procedures, any Target employee who is given access<br />to its Asset Protection Directives is required strictly to maintain the confidentiality of this<br />information Access to these directives are restricted to Target AP employees and under no<br />circumstances are they to be distributed to anyone outside of Target<br />Target considers the improper disclosure of its 2006 Asset Protection Directives on the<br />Internet to be a very serious matter. Allowing Target's confidential and proprietary security<br />procedures to remain posted on the website provides potential wrongdoers with a blueprint for<br />circumventing Target's security procedures in connection with shoplifting or other criminal<br />activity This not only jeopardizes Target's property, but also could jeopardize the safety of<br />Target employees and guests.<br />We hope and expect that upon review of the facts set forth in this letter, you will delete<br />all such postings at your earliest convenience . Target also requests that you immediately destroy<br />all paper and electronic copies of the Target 2006 Asset Protection Directives in your possession .<br />Please provide us with prompt, written confirmation of your compliance with these requests no<br />later than noon on Tuesday, July 18, 2006 If we do not receive timely confirmation from you,<br />we will assume that you do not intend to remove your wrongful posts, and we will proceed to<br />consider and take further appropriate action<br />2 200 wbLtS FA UCO C F VT FK 90 SOUT H yF.v h `T H ST1tFF 7 t11 NtYrA P OL 1 5 M1uNVk SUTA SS ao 2-7 901<br />Case 1:06-cv-02116-CC Document 1-1 Filed 09/05/2006 Page 16 of 29<br /><br />M2 20814344 01<br />Targetsucks<br />July 27, 2006<br />Page 2<br />Your anticipated cooperation is appreciated.<br />Sincerely,<br />Kerry L.

Target says in a court filing it is provided to employees on a “need-to-know” basis.<br /><br />To find out who the “John Doe” is, Target is seeking the help of AOL, Yahoo!Inc. and Microsoft Corp. It’s unclear whether these companies will comply, though.<br /><br />The lawsuit, filed Sept. 5th in Federal Court in Atlanta, follows a two and a half month campaign that included efforts to get the multiple postings deleted from various message boards.<br /><br />It also follows the publishing of Wal-Mart Stores Inc.’s recent theft-prevention policy change, leaked to the New York Times in July, which said shoplifters would no longer be charged for stealing less than $25 in goods.<br /><br />Shoplifting is a $10 billion to $13 billion a year nightmare for U.S. retailers, according to California-based retail security expert Chris McGoey, also known as the “Crime Doctor”. Even though stores such as Target and Wal-Mart rack in tens of billions of dollars of sales annually, shoplifting can account for up to 3 percent of those sales every year, he says.<br /><br />“That’s profit they should have gained,” said McGoey, who advises almost every national retail chain in the country.<br /><br />Target operates more than 1,400 stores, including 45 in Georgia.<br /><br />Target’s lawsuit illustrates the lengths to which companies will go to protect secret information from reaching the masses, said Jason Bernstein, an Atlanta-based intellectual property attorney at Powell Goldstein LLP. He says Target is trying to send a clear message to rogue posters that the publishing of trade secrets is something the company will not stand for.<br /><br />“It’s demonstrating to me an incredible awareness these companies have of the importance of their trade secrets and confidential info because they rely on them to increase sales and prevent theft,” Bernstein said. “Companies like Target, they’re also trying to send a statement to the industry. They’re probably very upset over this.”<br /><br />In the lawsuit, Target claims the postings have already led to losses and that they provide “potential wrongdoers with the blueprint for circumventing Target’s security procedures.” The policy which Atlanta Business Chronicle obtained at targetunion.org, outlines in detail various rules, such as mandating that all thefts above $20 must be referred for prosecution and barring anyone from photographing employees who have been caught shoplifting.<br /><br />If Target does ID the blogger, and he or she still refuses to cease the postings, the company faces some sticky issues, a First Amendment and intellectual property expert says.<br /><br />For one, it is not known whether the poster ever signed a confidentiality decree. If the John Doe didn’t, then Target would have to prove the poster knew the policy was confidential, said David Bodney, a First Amendment and media rights lawyer with Phoenix-based Steptoe & Johnson LLP. Bodney, also a lecturer at Arizona State University, adds that Target would have to prove the postings had no legitimate purpose other than to malign. “It’s an uphill battle, he said.<br /><br />However, he also points out that free speech is not absolute, especially if a judge decides – as Target claims – that the policy is a court-protected company secret.<br /><br />“It’s a disappointing reality that our constitutional liberties are conditional,” Bodney said.<br /><br />According the suit, the poster obtained the 30-plus-page policy from a terminated Target theft prevention employee in Wisconsin. That employee allegedly e-mailed the policy to the John Doe and only knew the poster through his association with the anti-Target Web sites.<br /><br />In July, just days after the employee posted the policy on targetunion.org, the suit says Target contacted the employee and demanded he delete it from the site and his computer. He allegedly obliged, but the John Doe never did – despite the fact that Target contacted the poster’s various e-mail accounts and posted messages on popular anti-Target Web sites demanding the practice to stop.<br /><br />In response to one of Target’s postings, the blogger – who used screen names such as “Target Sucks” – allegedly wrote online “I didn’t sign any confidentiality agreement with them and really don’t give a rat’s ass if they like it or not.” The poster also warned others on targetunion.org that Target law firm Faegre & Benson was monitoring the site, and published attorney Kerry Bundy’s e-mail address and phone number. In response, another poster wished “a million scrounger” on the law firm. A scrunge is a parasitic alien on Nintendo video games.<br /><br />An e-expert was hard pressed to predict which side has the upper hand. Eugene Volokh, a University of California law professor who specializes in free speech issues, compares the case to four others: three involving Apple Computer Inc., and one involving Fort Motor Co. Apple has had mixed luck with its ongoing war against leakers in recent years. And Ford in 1999, lost a lawsuit regarding a blogger who posted corporate documents showing some negative information about the company’s vehicles. The site, blueovalnews.com, still exists today.<br /><br />Sidebar:<br />Protecting secrets or targeting free speech?<br /><br />Target Corp. is suing a blogger for posting a secret theft-prevention policy online.<br /><br />* The unknown poster is believed to live in Georgia<br />* Target is asking AOL, Yahoo!

GERARD’S CHURCH,<br />9600 REGENTS AVENUE NORTH, BROOKLYN PARK, MINNESOTA<br /><br />The Target Corporation plans to build a new World Headquarters on a 300 acre tract of land located near Highways 169 and 610 in Brooklyn Park. It is anticipated that this World Headquarters will ultimately generate 15,000 jobs with Target Corporation and another 15,000 jobs in the related development. Target envisions a new downtown area, public works facilities, parks, infrastructure, and 3000 new housing units. Details about the project are available online on the City of Brooklyn Park’s website at: www.brooklynpark.org/sitepages/pid1080php.<br /><br />In order to make this project happen, Target has obtained a promise of $20 million in tax abatement assistance from the City of Brooklyn Park and is looking for an additional $20 million in tax abatement assistance from the County of Hennepin. If the public is being asked to make this type of financial commitment to the Target Corporation, the local community has the right to ask Target Corporation questions as to how this development will benefit everyone in the community. What they will be doing to guarantee that there is affordable housing built as part of this development? What provisions are being made for public transit in and around the site area? Will there be local hiring opportunities? Will good quality jobs be available for local residents? Target has been willing to discuss these matters, but has not made any firm commitment to the community on these issues.<br /><br />The Alliance for Metropolitan Stability is working with two coalition partner groups, the African American Action Committee (AAAC, based in Brooklyn Park); and the faith-based social justice group, ISAIAH. Our organizations are part of a community coalition which is asking Target Corporation, the City of Brooklyn Park, and Hennepin County to actively address these concerns and require Target Corporation to enter into a community benefits agreement to commit itself to providing affordable housing, public transit options, and local employment opportunities in this development. If the community is committing itself to Target Corporation, we ask that Target Corporation commit itself to the community as well.<br /><br />AAAC & ISAIAH are holding a Town Hall Meeting on Thursday, April 12, 2007, at 7:00 p.m., at St. Gerard’s Church, 9600 Regent Avenue North, Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. We are inviting you to attend this very important informational meeting to hear how this development can promote equitable economic and social opportunities in Brooklyn Park.<br /><br />At the Town Hall Meeting, representatives from Target Corporation, the City of Brooklyn Park, Hennepin County, and community groups will answer questions about the proposed development, and we will seek the commitment of Target Corporation to enter into a community benefits agreement guaranteeing that the development will provide the necessary affordable housing, public transit and local employment that will benefit the entire community. Please join us at this important event.<br /><br />The African American Action Committee is a local nonprofit community organization committed to working with other community partners within the community to create a pathway to employment and business opportunities, promote affordable housing and home ownership, adequate transit, and assure that all children have access to a quality education.<br /><br />ISAIAH is an ecumenical non-partisan organization of over 85 metro area churches that have joined together to promote their common vision that we should act from hope, not fear, that we must move from isolation to community, that rejects the myth of scarcity and recognizes that God’s abundance provides enough to sustain us all, and that works towards a community of greater social, economic and racial justice for all people. <br /><br />For more information, please contact:<br /><br />Eugene Dix, Executive Director of the African American Action Committee (AAAC), (763)503-0158 (p);
