My question involves criminal law for the state of: California
Hi, I got caught shoplifting, no police were called, and the LP said it wouldn't go in my criminal record, but that I had to appear in court. I got a Civil Demand letter for $300 and paid it on time about 3 weeks ago. I sent it with delivery confirmation so I'm certain they received it.
I'd like to know how long they can take to send a release? Also, when can I expect to get a summons to court? This incident happened during late February. I've been thinking about it ever since, and I feel terrible about the whole thing. Please help![]()
