Simple: Hypnosis in fiction is not the same as realistic hypnosis. 

To elaborate: Hypnosis in real life does not function the same way it tends to do in fiction. In fiction, it’s kind of mind control’s less powerful cousin. Using techno-gadgets instead of the mind. 
Hypnotism in real life is mostly about loudly suggesting something. Relaxing the mind and etc. It does not mean you can hypnotize random people to go steal for you. It just means “Hey, relax your mind and maybe consider this suggestion.” AKA: It just puts the idea in your head, but you’re 100% able to deny that thought and go on with your daily life. 

So, I’m comfortable in that hypnosis in fiction is NOT the same as hypnosis in real life. 

also, hypnosis in real life DOES NOT WORK IF THE PERSON BEING HYPNOTIZED DOESN’T WANT TO BE HYPNOTIZED
