My question involves criminal law for the state of: ILLIONS
was caught shoplifting last week $26 worth of merchandise. I had lot of item purchased the guy came after me outside and told me to go to the back. he didnt call the police , but just took my one stuff which was not billied ,he asked for id, he did not took a picture (i didnt see him doing that) but i know he had in his computer. i saw him putting down my information in paper and the items value ($26) that i've took. He made me sign 2 papers . I said i would like to talk to my lawyer before signing he said this is not criminal charge ,we arent calling the police and no report is getting fillied. As i have stopped you i need to do my job.
He gave me green color "notice" which says Most state permit to recover civil monetary damages and possible penalities....You may son receive a letter from our Reovery Department which will explain the damage of Civil damges..
Then he was going to let me go and said i am not allowed to go to any of that store anymore or else its trespassing ...i can be arrested.
sorry i was really scared and out of it and couldnt think straight. I dont want anyone to know about this because i feel so embarrassed. i am over 28.
how much do you think the bill will be around? how long will it take for them to send it to me? and what's going to happen now? will anything worse happen after they send the bill or whatsoever? please help.. i need all the help i can get. im so terrified right now, i dont know what to do!scared
