hello.
Here in TX, after a $52 s'lifting charge at a Sam's Club (membership revoked for life, taken to local jail, charged, fingerprinted, mugshot, spent the night, taken to county, posted bail, now home). I am so sorry to have done such a stupid thing (3 dvds). Have made an appt w/ an attorney, a behavioral therapist and will have to wait for a court date. I am wondering if a store, or the county will come into my home with a search warrant. I told them that this is my first offense, no prev. charges of anything, not even a speeding ticket. Will I be able to get the charge dropped to a class c misdemeanor or will this hang over my head for the rest of my life? I want to change my behavior by understanding why I did this and will get control over my life, but I can't shake the fact that they won't believe me and will tear my home apart? What is the basis of them issuing a search warrant? If the amount taken would have been $2 less, the police would not have been called and it wouldn't be the mess that it now is. Not that I have told them I didn't do it, I admitted my mistake, apologized, offered to make ammends, told them how sorry I was. It was stupid, no one else to blame here. Just wondering, I was not 'read my rights'. Does this take place anymore?
