If I'm correct (and may not be) the SOL is one year. Besides that the DA knows the law and isnt going to press charges when SOL has run out
what is on my record until the court date and what is on it after
Nothing at this point. Unless you were arrested in which case an arrest record would exist. Far as court until a verdict and sentence has been reached no one can say
i was arressted & fingerprinted (how could you not be arressted?) so im guessing that shows up on my record as off the day it happened
Yes you have an arrest record. How can you not simple retailer recovers merchandise and doe snot file police complaint. If you search these threads you will see many are stopped and criminal charges are not pressed. Since Police were called yours does not fall into that.
so was it up to the store to call the police, and what determines if they do or not
Store policy dictates action.
so some stores arrest people for this stuff and others do not
Yes but most Big Box retailers will arrest and press charges if dollar value exceeds $50.00 or you flee. some dollar value is higher or lower some press charges no matter what. Others prefer to write up Civil Demand paperwork and ban you from store.
