i have a friend that stole something from a store, I was with her when she did this! I knew she was doing it, but I didnt take anything. If she had been caught would I have gotten in trouble too or would they have let me go?

Sadly, since you knew she was doing it before hand, you could be charged as an accessory. You should have told someone, tried to stop her or don't go anywhere with her anymore. She could get you into some serious trouble.

They may have said you were in on it just because you knew and were there. At any rate you would have gotten a BIG hassel from it, and maybe banned from the store. You 'friend' is no friend putting you at risk like that. Tell her you are never going to be in on something like that again and to do it without you next time!(Better yet tell her she was fool and never do it again!)

If you were with her, you'd both have been arrested. It's guilt by association. They would think that you were an accomplice even if you didn't physically take anything. If you know she does this type of thing, you need to stay away from her before she gets you into trouble.

If your "friend" keeps stealing, she will definitely get caught one day. Stay away from her. She'll do her best to bring you down with her. She didn't seem to care that you were with her when she stole something this time. Do you really think she won't do her best to involve you when she gets caught.

You could get in trouble, too. Drop your friend. Just tell her that you don't hang out with criminals. Tell your parents, too, so they can tell hers. The earlier she is discouraged from the criminal path, the better she will do in her life. She may hate you now, but she will thank you later.

They would have put the scare into you but let you go. I hope your friend doesn't make a habit out of this behavior. It could lead to all kinds of problems in the future.

Yes.Depends on the mood of the cop and the store owner.
