Understanding a Civil Demand
Just received my civil demand after a recent shoplift in NY. No cops involved. I sent the payment in the mail today, but I'm a little curious about the bold text:
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The payment of any demand upon you does not prevent criminal prosecution under a related criminal statute provision. Payment of the amount demanded may not be used in any court proceedings as an admission of liability.
Do I have to be alert of any additional proceedings now that I've sent the payment? Is this over now? And will I get any kind of verification from anyone that this is over?
Much thanks.
