Help With New Jersey Shoplifting

is there a website or any other resource that i can access for that info?

Your going to worry yourself sick over this! If your crime was under felony amount. I am guessing it is. You can expect the following if found guilty

. Fines not to exceed $1000.00
. Community Service
. Summary probation of 1 - 3 years
. A criminal record
. ban from retailer

These are the norm jail time can be added but its normally suspended long as you meet requirements of probabtion

is there any way to aviod the criminal record if they press charges?

You have not paid attention to anything I have told you!:wallbang: They did not press charges. The chances they will at this point are almost zero! Quit worryin gpay the Civil Demand and go on with your life!

Well actually The police do not need to be contacted at all. While working LP in Michigan it was a policy if the person was under 18 not to call the police. We would simply fill out the paper work and send it to the prosecuter i.e. Witness list, Warrant request, Juvenile Petition.... The police do not need to be notified.


You should call the store and ask if they are prosecuting....simple

Now you seeing things where did I say he shoud call store?

what if the person's 18?


and if you call the store and ask....wouldnt that go against you or something...idk would they hate you even more for calling them and buggin them about it...or is it just best to wait.

plus if they were gonna press charges, how long before it came in the mail?

That would depend on how quickly PD/DA acted on request from store

is there a min/max time limit?


would calling the store and trying to talk to the LP's help you out? or would it just piss them off?

We went through this store isnt pressing charges if they were they would have done so at time not now! If you want to know contact Police!
