    If they don’t get thrown out on a motion to dismiss, it goes into discovery.

    After discovery, if it doesn’t get thrown out on summary judgment, it goes to trial.

    If it doesn’t get thrown out on a motion to dismiss, the lawsuit states a valid legal claim.

    If it doesn’t get thrown out on summary judgment, there is evidence to support the claim.

    Either way, if it doesn’t get thrown out, it’s literally not a frivolous case.

        I believe during discovery, the very well established culture and rules of “not chasing or putting hands on a shoplifter” would get this thrown out as a summary judgment.
