No court date mentioned on the ticket. The officer briefly mentioned something about court, but never said a date. He vaguely mentioned court and and possible like community service. Then again he was unclear since he was talking to us both.
Would it be worth it even to go to court to plead not guilty with that chance of getting convicted? If they have a video, it's only of my friend pocketing the item. I'm not sure if they could even see me cutting the box. Sorry, I've never experienced any of this before.
And the CHARGED status, can that ever go away?
Edit: Is consulting a lawyer expensive at all? I'm assuming it is...
