That would depend on what info they have and if they filed a criminal report. Could they? Yes they could but its just a guess

It is not likely they subscribe to retail theft database. However your attorney is best to advise you on this

Yes you will ned a Lawyer to fight this charge. However without intending to be rude I want to say something. Its possible your son has not told you the entire truth. Your right there would be no reason to charge him if his story was true. Regardless has his Lawyer seek the video etc through...

They could approach you again next time your in store. Without your contact info there isnt much they can do. Normally the civil fine you speak of is sent via mail without your address I dont see how they can do that

1st offense petty theft (shoplifting) rarely carries jail time. Far as criminal record goes ask your Attorney if diversion is available in your case

A letter of your own on why you feel the request for Civil demand was mistake

Its not the penal code that is the concern. Its fact you have a letter from store saying if you paid they would not seek Civil demand.

You dont want it to get to that level. Send a copy of the letter you got from store to the civil recovery service

If your Lawyer has viewed tape and feel you should seek diversion then the video shows enough to win prosecution

These laws vary by state. Without seeing the video (if any) or the LP statements its hard to say why you were stopped. Based on your post it seems you were wronged but again with the other sides view its hard to say

Your defense plans should be discussed with your Lawyer

If you cannot afford your own attorney ask for public defender

Send a copy of the letter stating no civil action to P&R If they still pursue this seek legal advice from your own Attorney

I understand your concern and rage. Your focus right now needs to be how to defend yourself againt the charges not second guess why the LP stopped you or their motivation. If you want to discuss LP procedures and the like begin a topic in Loss prevention section or even discussion area. Right...

Shrink (store loss) is usually measured by % not dollars. How these Lp teams are paid is store specific

Norman and myself have both ran Loss Prevention departments and/or consulted for major retailers.

Let me add that if the items you had we paid for finding the reciepts is importnat however even without them you migh tstill prove you owned them. Did you pay with check, credit card, giftcard etc? What days did you buy them? What stores, registers? What we clerks names etc etc These can all...

Ok without playing Judge I find your story hard to swallow. If you want our help we need the truth. we dont Judge here! Now if your version is accurate its easy to see how you were charged and its likely to stick. You have a decision to make. Start calling Lawyers to fight charge. Expect this to...
