No offense taken ... I don't know much! :)
All I can make out for the violation code is 61-317-3 which probably doesn't help any.
I'll call the magistrate office Monday. Thanks again for your time
Yes there is a code, however it's hard to make out.
The part I don't understand (sorry for all the questions and ignorance in the matter) is if it was a court date wouldn't it be a set date and time, not go here before X date??
All it says is ...
My personal info (Name, address, etc)
The store name and address
Then Charge - Shoplifting and the amount ($36.56)
Then it has the information on where to go and by what date.
That's it ... it doesn't say much, it looks a lot like a speeding ticket :)
Is a citation grounds for a conviction? I was told I just take my citation and pay the fee ... I don't go before a judge, at least that is my understanding!
Thanks for your help! I would contact you, but I'm new here and have no idea how! :)
Hi,
Today I was caught shoplifting at Kmart ... stupid I know, and never will I do that again! Anyway, I was given a citation by the police officer to go to the magistrate court.
Two questions ...
1 ... Will this show up on my record with background checks, etc? I work in the medical...
