If you admit your wrongdoing, many judges will give you a lighter sentence than if you wasted the time and money of the police department and the courts trying to fight it and drag things out, or forcing them to come after you.

yes it will get you a lighter punishment to own up- regardless of if its truth or not:
Two years ago I was accused of acting as a decoy to a women shop lifting in asda. I had never seen this women before so I denied it, I was arrested and cautioned by the disbelieveing police who were on my side, but I am now banned from any adsa in the country (and apparently globally as my face will be digitally recognised by computers) and the caution is on my record.
I did shoplife (stupidly) by swapping a label on an item in a different store, stupid and dumb I know but I was hungry and had little money. I was caught and the store banned me for 6 months, and only in that store, not the entire brand and not all across the country. The difference was I admitted to the thing I had done. I wanted to but couldnt offer to pay the difference, I literally had no money in my account exept just enough for what I had paid for.
I dont know if I would have still been banned in asda (the first thing) to be honest, the security guard was very over zelous and even commented on the "£50 reward money" for apparently catching a shoplifter would be in the next payslip, and double as they caught two, I think he was a bully and like a dog with a bone, I cried throughout the ordeal and tried to protest my innocence, but nothing changed in the guy, he was evil and even if I do get the chance to go back, as this guy basicly lied about me, saying I was involved in shop lifting when I wasnt what so ever, so I dont know what to expect. All I know is to not go into that asda in old kent road, london again.

It all depends upon which judge you have presiding over your case. Also: the severity of the misdemeanor..who and what are/were involved and your criminal history/records/
background and how many times you've repeated either this or similar offenses in the past (being caught in the act,
of course).
This too depends on the kind of attorney you can afford
and in some cases, your race and/or social status; as well
as whether or not the crime was premeditated.
Check out ' Lawyers for Dummies ' at any of your local book stores for further details or simply visit your local library.
Truth be told, no one can determine your fate once you've committed a crime no matter how menial or severe.
Peace always.

think approximately that the development she lives in is now lots safer than yet another place must be today. The code enforcers, hearth marshall and different businesses would be hovering over the development to video show the protection moreso now that there is been an incident. that's an identical concept as the way it replaced into safer to fly top after 9/11 using fact what replaced into ignored in the previous replaced into then watched like a hawk. i does no longer choose her to circulate. She has memories the place she is and that i know you adore her, yet to make her circulate from there now (while the protection themes are going to be lots greater controlled besides) could do greater harm than good. in case you only could desire to have her circulate, only sit down and characteristic a compassionate and empathetic communique along with her to enable her know your concerns. If she is unyielding, do no longer push it. only plant the seed and walk away. If it prospers and grows that's an advantage, yet while it does not you will be comforted in understanding that she is able that makes her chuffed. The reliable-arm tactic is a few thing you may could desire to do by Social centers and could certainly reason greater stress and affliction than could be finally prudent. good success!

Not really. Misdemeanor offenses are just what the name implies; Minor discretions of the law. You're not likely to go to jail anyways. Just pay a fine and/or at worst get a bit of probation. Cops don't spend a lot of time on misdemeanor offenses, so iif you're not caught right away, chances are you'll never be. Nevertheless dear J, keep out of hot water. You don't need your pretty little hands slappped.

Generally, I would say yes.
But that depends on whether you mean a misdemeanour or a crime! If we are talking about telling your parents or teacher that it was you - now instead of waiting until they find out or work it out...maybe.
If you're going to be owning up to robbery or GBH...it may make less of a difference.

It all depends on the mood of the person you are confessing to but generally speaking telling the truth will set you free within yourself and you won't have to feel guilty anymore.
