[runaway]

My question involves criminal law for the state of:New York
shoplifting under 18 of $120 merchandise arrested by security then send to the precinct with fingerprints taken and photo and given a court date. i was with 2 other friends who also got arrested. i am currently 16 years old and this is the first time ever ive been arrested.
what is the consequences of this? what will happen on court? can i go alone ? do i have to pay? and will this be on my record after court???

Read any of the thousands of other threads asking essentially the same question and if you still have questions.

If we're talking juvenile court, the court has broad discretion to fashion a remedy that it believes will help you mend your ways, and can be influenced by your home, school, community, and any prior police/criminal record.
