My question involves criminal law for the state of: CALIFORNIA

he stole two things,small items prolly no mre than 15 bucks in value...i was with him but i was not involved (i didnt steal anything) anyway, two undercover youngsters i should say, came up to us and insisted we folowd them into the office. they took our id's and handed him a paper.. it just said ASSET PROTECTION RECOVERY..just explaining that he might recieve a letter from the law offices of palmer rifler pa...he didnt explain anything with details and we came home with all sorts of questions, it felt like they let us off with a slap on the hand. The undercover said, everytime you come well be watching you
. has anyone been thro anything like this? if so, what happens. i just wonder because i didnt steal anything..but yet they took my i.d
WE DIDNT SIGN ANYTHING.
and no cops were involved.
