Hello
In june 05 i was caught shoplifting less than $20. I was given a copy of the petty theft law saying that i would be given a civil demand. No police were involved and after i mailed the demand i havent heard anything since. My question is if this incident could show up on any...
Since it is your first offence you may just be charged with a fine, probation, community service or any combination of those. From what i have gathered it is unlikely that you would have to serve jail time. As for your record, i am not sure but you can discuss it with an attorny when you go to...

police were involved, only the loss prevention staff filled
out some paperwork took photo of me and told me that i

anything after i received the demand. My question...
They could take you to court if you don't pay the civil demand but it would be a civil case, which is seperate from the criminal part of it. But since the police weren't present and you didn't get a citation or anything i think you may be in the clear. Just be sure to pay the demand when it comes!!
Were the police present? It doesn't sound as if you were arrested, just that they got your information and are sending you a civil demand. Did they mention anything about a court date? If they didn't - and you weren't arrested- then it is possible that if you pay the civil demand it will be the...
I think you may be charged with identity theft. This website may help you see what you're looking at http://www.ncsl.org/programs/lis/privacy/idt-statutes.htm
However, i am not sure that is what you're facing. I suggest you consult a lawyer once you get the information from the investigator.
You can probably bring your brother since he is of legal age. Well, the civil demand from walmart (in california) can run anywhere from $50-$500. I don't know where you're from but its probably about the same.
"price switching" is still considered theft. You are probably being charged with petty theft which is a misdemeanor. Since you are a minor they may offer you a diversion program and once completed it will not appear on your record. Otherwise, the most likely outcome is you will have to pay a...
If you are a first time offender, usually they offer you to just pay a fine or probation/community service and if you complete it then they may take it off your record. And i'm not so sure if it gets taken off when you're 18 maybe it does. You're a minor so maybe they'll go easy on you. Good luck.

3 weeks after it happened i got the civil demand and it was for $200. (The amount i was caught with was less than $20) And i have not heard anything from wal-mart or the court since then.
So here's my first question.
1. How much do you think the store can reasonably sue me for? On the paper they gave me it says that it takes into consideration the possible damges, whether the item was damages or rendered non-saleable, costs of security, and other restitutions permitted by...
:confused:
Almost the same thing happened to me. The police were not called and all i received was a civil demand in the mail. It has been almost 3 months now and i still haven't heard anything. I'm scared of being taken to court too. But I think that it is over for you since the people you...
