The cop probably did you a favor by telling you to be quiet,lol. If you truly feel you did nothing wrong I honestly would just ingore the civil demand and see where it goes. Many people are gonna tell you to pay but you didn't nothing wrong. If you know people who steal don't go in to stores with them or just leave. The person her caught you off guard,I won't go near her then. It can be easy to get caught up in other peoples stupid choices.
