Hitler was a painter, that doesn't make him a good guy. You messed up, you stole and now you have to deal with the punishment. In MN $1000 is a felony, getting it dropped to a lesser charge will be tough.

I've worked security for 13 years, you know who would have "gladly paid" for the items I cught them stealing" EVERYONE. She tried to exit with unpaid merchandise, merchandise CONCEALED under her purse. Taking out your anger on security ("he just wanted to arrest someone that day". He did, your...

Wow, what a jumbled mess to read. I"ll try my best with this. They got the plate number. Even IF there isn't a camera the LP saw it, just as good. As for the "no camera, just because you can't "see' a camera, doens't mean it isn't there. DCF SHOULD take the kid as the partents are stupid...

Re: Shoplifting in Store Name in NJ -first time :rolleyes:

Doing security in MN, I will say sometimes the local paper will post police reports in their weekly issues. For Example: THEFT 11/2/09 Jane Sue Doe was arrested for theft of merhcandise totlaing $92 from Store X. If this happens your friends, neighbors, family and clients will see it. Not...

As many great videos I have over the years, sticking them on Youtube pretty much screams "Fire me"

Got to love armchair lawyers/preachers. #1 she is not innocent, she knew what was going on, and participated. #2 You're right, they can't force her to speak, but when she gets to court, the video will do all the speaking. #3 Its not "U" its "YOU" Its not "UR" it "YOU'RE' "YOUR" or "YOU ARE"...

Well, I'm not reading that 500 page novel above, but I'm guessing I can sum it up. You had kids with you, they were sick/crying/whining/wanted a toy etc, you "forgot" an item or 2, left the store with it and were arrested? Yep, I've only had that happen several dozen times over my years. Its...

If you don't pay it, they sue you, add on lawyer costs, court fees and other fees making your $50 possible $1000+. Plus them might still charge you. The cost is to cover the cost of security, cameras etc. Doesn't matter if you destroy merch, they suffered losses by having to hire guys like me.

I once arrested a kid who wore out a pair of shoes told me the night before a man had kicked in his door, put a gun to his head and told him "You go to Store X tomorrow, and you steal me a new pair of shoes, if you don't I'm going to come back here and kill you and your whole family" So this...

They might have your plate #.

Lawyers told you to ignore the Civil Demand? Bad idea, your fine can be greatly increased if the store involves THEIR Lawyers. so you could turn a $50 fine intoma $1000+ fine after they tack on court costs and lawyer fees.

Since you had a tool, it is assumed you went in wiht the intent to steal, so you will probably be charged with a felony.

So, you got busted for theft, dumped some items then stole them again on your way out? Good luck. :D

Pay them, they are not "Scare tactics" what the company will do is send lawyers after you, who will then add thier fees, court costs etc. And you could be paying $1000.00+, its pretty much free money to the store. They send the lawyers, you pay. As for the "everyone is doing it" defense, let me...

I will also advise you not to bring up the life problems at court, Judges see this as an "excuse" and sometimes then you make an example of people trying to give medical/family/etc as an excuse.

Get a lawyer. Even a public defender is better than no help at all.

Don't bring up the meds, ask your lawyer about a diversion program if this is your 1st time in trouble and you might just keep it off your record. You can leave the county as long as you ocme back for your trial, otherwise, warrant which is no fun. (ps, remove the stores name from your post...

Buy a lottery ticket. You'll have the same chances at winning "Mega Millions" as you will your case being thrown out due to some technicalities. ESPECIALLY if they have video of you.

I'd stay out of that store and probably that mall if I were you.
