    Arrested for Shoplifting After Dying Hair in a Store Bathroom
    My question involves criminal law for the state of: California

    I went to Target because i was looking for some unique colour hair dye (blue, purple, etc) and I picked up a box of blue and took it to the bathroom. I intended to dye my hair in there as I brought shampoo, comb and hair dryer with me in a bag. It took about an hour to do, and I accidentally stained the sink. I left the bathroom when i was done and I had ditched the hair dye packaging in the bathroom. As soon as I stepped outside the store I heard a male voice yell "EXCUSE ME!" I turned around and realized it was a Loss Prevention agent. I started sprinting towards my car, but the auto unlock on my fob wouldn't work. I was locked out of my car. The LP then had time to catch up with me and after a physical struggle in the parking lot I was detained in the LP office. The man showed me the packaging and asked if I knew anything about it. I told him I had never dyed my hair before in my life. He asked me if he had stupid written on his forehead and I said no. He called the cops and I was arrested for shoplifting.

    What can I do to convince the judge that I have never dyed my hair, therefore the stop and accusation by LP made no sense?
    I have a shirt that says "f*** the police" on it, would this be acceptable to wear to court?

    So you decided to dye your hair with a product you hadn't paid for, when confronted about taking the dye to ran away, you fought with the LPs, and then lied and said that you didn't take the hair dye. You were arrested, so odds are there is a picture of you taken by the police with your freshly dyed hair. Now you have the fantasy that you can commit perjury and somehow beat the charge.

    Dream on.

    If you wear that shirt to court, best case scenario is that you're told to turn it inside out. Worst case is that you'll be punished for contempt of court. The criminal court is not a venue for a defendant's exercise of free speech.

    It's time for you to grow up.

    If this is real, which I have serious doubts about, don't be surprised if you don't get another charge for the damage to the sink.

    Anybody who asks the shirt question is either too stupid to breed or is an outright troll.

    Was this the LP agent who liked you? Were you wearing one of your amazing disguises?

    After reading this i went back to Target with baking soda and peroxide to try to remove the stain. On my way into the bathroom I thought I saw the LP from yesterday look in my direction. (forgot to mention i was also banned from the store) I locked myself in the bathroom and managed to remove the stain. When I opened the door to leave, the LP was standing right outside the bathroom door. Now, after the first incident I went out and bought hair dye to use at home to change my hair colour to make the judge believe I never did anything in Target. The LP agent told me I had to come with him and I asked why. He told me I was banned for shoplifting yesterday and coming back to the store was criminal trespass. I told him the girl who was arrested yesterday had blue hair, so it couldn't have been me. As soon as I said that sentence, I realized how stupid I was for saying it. He called the cops and I was arrested for criminal trespass.

    But I still got the stain out of the sink. Perhaps the judge won't care about the criminal trespass charge once I tell him why I went back in the first place.
