My question involves criminal law for the state of: Maryland
I hope fellow posters to help me. I had period of weakness and poor judgment and went on shoplifting spree that I did for more than year. Most stuff I stole barely any use to me. I have give away some. Donate some. And sold some (I was now working during the time I was stealing.). I notic now when I go certain stores I am almost always greeted upon entry. Sometimes after I enter I see an employee rushing to the back of the store. What's sad about this is that I am remorseful! I do not shoplift anymore and truly believe that stealing is wrong. Would forum help me to understand.
Am I now in a computer that sees me when I come into stored?
Do they have picture of me in the back of the store?
Is my picture now in every store even if I did not shoplifted in them?
Do they know my name and where I life?
When they rush to the back of store are they calling police to arrest me?
How long do they keep pictures?
When I go shopping now because I try to show a better me I only go in the store if I plan to buy. I always buy now and don't steal anymore. I am in so much emotional pain and do not know how to fix this. The stores I took things from are major chains.
Please help me.
