My question involves criminal records for the state of: New Jersey
I was caught shoplifting today at Boscovs. I felt like I could get away with it because my friends always do it. I attempted to steal about $130 worth of clothes. I am 17 and will be 18 in two months. I feel like a complete idot, and I regret this so much. I have never been in trouble before, and Im a honor roll student. The boscovs security lady asked for my name and adress, parents name and called for my parents to pick me up. She said that my mother will be mailed a cival demand re: ( my name), I believe with a minimum of $150.Will this effect me from going to college, or getting a job? How much will the cival demand be? Will this be on my criminal record? Am I still able to go to college? After I pay the cival demand ( on time), will this be over? Will I have to go to court? Please help ... Thank you
