If the police dont come to a crime seen like shopfilting it means that it wont go in your personal record?

Answer 1

Sometimes a smaller store will when a shoplifter is caught, will just take their merchandise back and eject you from the store with a warning of don't ever come back in here again. They don't involve the police, so no it would not go on a persons record.
While I was in college, I did loss prevention work for a large retail chain, who would press charges for all items taken over $1.00, and the police would be called.
Considering all the new anti theft devices installed in large retail stores these days, cameras, loss prevention gates and tags, I don't think I'd risk taking something.
In the state I reside in, a law was passed that when a shoplifter is caught, the amount of the items taken is added on to the persons record until $500.00 is reached, then the next time a person is caught, it's not a misdemeanor any more, it's a felony.

Answer 2

You question is not real clear. By reading your vague quesiton, i'll say no. In order for something to go on your record, you have to be arrested eith by going to jail or by getting a summons(ticket).

Now, you can get a ticket by a cop, or even in the mail. But let's say, you wer shoplifting and the manager of the store caught you and eventually let you go without the cops showing up, then it will not go on your record.

Answer 3

It depends on where you live. In Florida, a business or person may have charges filed with the State Attorney leading to a possible arrest and court date (after you're let go from the store). Chances are though if they let you leave your OK as long as you abide by the Trespass Warning and/or fines.

Answer 4

at my store if we cant detain someone that we know has shoplifted we show the cops the tapes and they go on that ,then they go and get them we have cameras outside also that get plate # and that's helps alot for drive off of fuel ,but mostly one of my clerks can id the person ,its a small town ,its up to store weather the prosecute that person ,and it is company policy that we do prosecute and i assume then it gos on shoplifters record (underage kids i make work a day for what they have stolen with permission from parent by pulling weeds ,picking up trash and etc.maybe it teaches them what they did was wrong ,

Answer 5

Not necessarily. The investigation and complaint may go to the County Attorney at a later date and you will get arrested or a notice to report to court

Answer 6

Correct. But it will stay in the stores records. That way if you get caught shoplifting again, the poice will show up.

Answer 7

If you were booked it will go on your record

Answer 8

I think the place that caught you will serve a "do not tresspass" and that will go on your public record.

Answer 10
