My question involves criminal law for the state of: CA
I was wondering if one did not get a Civil Demand after a year and they did not shoplift since and they learned their lesson is the case dropped? I am asking this for a friend and he was not contacted by the court. When he is filling out his job application is it true the he does selects"no" as to if he has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor since it did not go to court and the civil demand is a civil issue and the supermarket chain did not press civil or court charges.
Also he wrote a letter to the LP office apologizing and the LP officer accepted the apology and will let my friend shop again at the store. The LP officer also said that he was not aware of the National Retail Theft Database so it seems like this store does not subscribe to the database as it could be either a store by store option or a corporation as a whole.
Would you say the records are only in the LP office to report losses and that it will be removed after some time?
Thanks
I apologize for posting in the Retail forum and not this forum so you can go ahead and close my original post. Thanks for volunteering your time working on this forum. I do realize you all have full time jobs. My friend has learned a good lesson after showing him this forum he is more remorseful and will think before he acts in the future as he realizes "Don't do the crime if you don't want to do the time".
