Being busted for shoplifting (usually for show).
The girl looked down at the ground and cried when she knew there was no way to get around the cop talking to her in the corner in front of everybody about pulling a Winona Ryder (though it was for show and she didn't get arrested). She thought it was unbearable and humiliating for a girl to go through, even if the bust was set up in advance.
