    Default Friend Caught Shoplifting

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: NEW JERSEY
    MY FRIEND RECENTLY WAS CAUGHT STEALING BOOKS AT BORDERS. HE RAN OUT AND THE ALARM WENT OFF AND 2 WORKERS RAN OUT TO STOP HIM BUT HE GOT IN HIS CAR AND DROVE OFF. THEY MAY HAVE GOT HIS LICENSE PLATE, SINCE THE CAR WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM........HE BROUGHT THE BOOKS BACK THE NEXT DAY AND DROPPED THEM AT THE FRONT DOOR WITH A NOTE TO RETURN THEM BUT HES SCARED BECAUSE HE IS ALREADY ON PROBATION........HE CALLED COURTHOUSE AND ASKED IF HE HAD WARRANTS FOR UNPAID TICKETS AND THEY SAID NO, BUT HE HAS TO REPORT TO PO SOON.......WOULD HE JUST GET A WARRANT OUT AND THEN GET LOCKED UP AT PROBATION? IS THERE ANYTHING HE CAN DO NOW ? WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF BORDERS PROSECUTING IF THEY GOT HIS PLATES

    He can (a) stop breaking the law and (b) hope that he doesn't get arrested and charged with trying to steal from Borders.

    He can't turn back the clock.

    But what he wants to know is , if police were called and they had run his liscence plates, then would they see he was on probation and notify his po or just wait to put out a warrant for shoplifting first

    Maybe, maybe not.

    You'll have to wait and see what happens.

    Well he thinks that either his PO or the police would have come to get him if they ran his plates, I told him that they could be waiting to press charges and then get him
