no, the law states if the item "scans higher than the advertised price, than one of that item is free"...regardless if it's caught or not, the store is responsible for ensuring their scans are accurate. if they're not, their penalization is having to give the customer an item free.
the purpose being, the customer should not have to watchdog what they bought, how much is costs, and if it scanned correctly. Do you stand there and make sure each item scanned accurately? And I think it's pretty safe to say the cashiers are not checking....they just scan the items blindly and as quickly as possible.
