This can be discovered in many ways. Just because you were not caught so far does not mean your out of the woods. Many large retailers have anaylist that do nothing but search for oddties. When they find these oddities they communicate with the Store's LP Manager who conduct an investigation. If...

You might keep your questions in your own topic to not confuse other posters. to answer you. You rplan does appear to be best course of action. The chances the store will not send a Civil Demand request is almost zero

The reason you could not find an answer is because these programs vary by county. They are basically the same but you should ask your Attorny who is familar with local law

It seems the store might have already filed a Police report if so there is not much that can be done at this time. Contact the Police and see if criminla charges have been filed. then go from there base don what your told. Admit to nothing and make no excuses only find out if a Police report was...

1. Is everything he told me true? Will my school hear about it? Will I have to go to court? Will this show up on my (otherwise clear, not even a parking ticket) record? We have no reason to believe he has lied to you. However just because the store does not notify your school does not mean they...

[ Remember when I posted this?

If convicted yes. Which again is why you should seek diversion as plea option

A conviction will likely have a negative impact on your citizenship. All the more reason to seek Diversion

I guess I am not being clear on this. These programs vary by state and county. The Attorneys I instructed yoou to contact will have those answers anythng I say here will only be a guess.

Open your local yellow pages and look for criminal defense Attorneys. We do not do Attorney referrals here, sorry. Diversion programs vary however in many cases they work like convictions with fines, probation, community service and the like. However once you complete program your case is...

Fact you did not learn your lesson first time makes jail a more real possibility. Taking the NASP course might help. Did you read the links I provided?

With this being a second offense jail is a very real option. I suggest you start calling lawyers to map out a plea option/defense. In mean time I would further suggest you enroll in an anti shoplifting program. I recommend course offered by NASP.

If all you had to do was pay a fine then its likely a misdemeanor

Without knowing the dispostion of case we cannot say. If I had to guess I would say you now have a criminal record for theft

You didnt read far enough then. In most posts we tell users to contact Attorneys and that many offer "free" consultations. The DA has the option to try you as an adult if he/she so chooses. Whether that happens or not we cannot say. Start calling Attorneys get as many free consultations as...

The NASP has a program that might suit your needs.

So not to confuse others I moved your question to its own topic. You need to start calling lawyers, many offer free consultations. When you meet with these lawyers ask them about Diversion. This would be your best outcome outside of aquittal

If you fight charge (your right) the Prosecution can bring any and alll evidence against you. This includes video. That being said it would be wise for you see consultations with local Attorneys and when you do this ask them about Diversion as plea option

That is a civil matter and unrelated to any criminal charges you might have. However it is in your best interest to pay this as soon as you can

Involved in what aspect? do you have a pending court case?
