My question involves criminal law for the state of: New York
I had put a packet of chocolate inside my coat pocket. At cash register, as I placed grocery on belt, I realized that chocolate packet is inside my jacket and did not want to take it out in front of cashier. So I told cashier that I've some more items to buy, put my grocery back in basket, moved back into the store & took the chocolate out of my pocket.I was caught by security person saying that I was stealing the chocolate.
