Similar to the self checkout process at Walmart/HEB etc. One person will be there for any issues and will intervene minimally.

17-33% is a whole lot less minimal than the person guiding a row of supermarket checkouts. In a busy supermarket they probably intervene less than 5%.

But then the supermarket checkout risk is a bounded one -- there's only so much that can be stolen using a supermarket handbasket.

Legal cases? Why does anyone think this approach can work?
