Not sure about where this was recorded at, but in the US this is why scales used for sales must be calibrated and sealed. In order for them to be certified, the manufacturer has to limit access to calibration features behind a locking mechanism of some kind. This usually involves a zip-tie like seal with a serial number on it which is applied after the government agency has calibrated the scale. Without this you are not allowed to sell goods directly to consumers. The flip side is that for manufacturing you do not need legal-for-trade scales. You do need to ensure that the packing is accurate, but as long as they pass random checks all is well.
This video is recorded in Rep. of Georgia, former soviet union.All the scales that are in the shops and markets here can be calibrated by the seller, if seller knows calibration code. The same situation is in other former Soviet republics and not only. There are so many people engaged in petty trade that no certification authority can calibrate and control so many scales. The calibration service will not detect if the internal electrical circuit of the scale is modified so that tension sensor's resistanse can be changed/restored remotely. How this is possible I will show in the next video.
You do not need to break calibration in order to cheat weight. Most unefficient way to cheat weight ever. You do not need to break calibration for it. Amateurs...
@@zazachitiashvili2849 It is easy to catch, it is hard to execute in comparison to others and it does not afford variation dependent on situation. One of the worst ever this is.
@@zazachitiashvili2849 It is not simple in comparison to others. Try putting a simple plastic bag while fixing one side of it under scales - that way you can just create extra tension whenever you want and in different amounts. It also will show correct numbers on control weights.

Moral of the story, if you suspect a shady grocery store, bring your own test weight!
You are right! I do so every shopping
awesome vid. Tganks!! ❤❤
Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks, interesting video!
Glad you liked it!

You are right, there are many other ways to cheat, but wrong calibration is also simple.
@@zazachitiashvili2849 It is harder than most of them and also can be caught easily. One of the dumbest way to cheat it is.

And judjing by your name, you should know that better than me, it is georgian and armenian thing after all (not soviet),
