    Default Can the Police Find Me If They Have My Credit Card Number

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: ohio

    recently my friend and I went to a local coffee shop. He paid for his beverage in cash, I paid with my credit card. On the way out, my friend decided on a whim to apprehend a small piece of furniture which he promptly exited with, and stashed in my car. Moments later I was walking out when I noticed the boyfriend of the barista who had served us, staring at both of us confused. While pulling calmly out I noticed the boyfriend making a phone call, obviously to the barista inside. There was no cameras, and no possibility of the boyfriend reading my license plate. Even though I did not steal anything (idiot friend!) I am concerned they will be able to get my information (address, number, etc.) via the credit card I used? How likely is this? The card is open source through a local bank.....any information would be greatly appreciated!

    I doubt the barista can get the info but I suspect the police can get the info.

    If you used your card, your name and card number is now known to them.
    I agree with JK, the card issuer will roll over pretty easily for the police if they ask.

    If you allowed your friend to put the item in your car you are probably considered an accessory to the crime and just as guilty. They can absolutely track you through your credit card, and they probably have cameras even if you can't see them. Never underestimate any establishment's technology. That said, I kinda doubt they will pursue you for this.
