    Default Ordinance Violation for Retail Theft

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Wisconsin

    This happened in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I received a ticket for Retail Theft - Intentional Take =>$2500 and the ticket was not mandatory (meaning I didn't have to show up). All the lawyers I had free consultations with told me that this was a civil forfeiture (not a criminal offense) and that the ticket wouldn't show up on CCAP (Circuit Court Access Page).

    So..... I plead no contest in court and it has been about a month later already. I checked the Wisconsin CCAP and it didn't show any indication of that citation in there and my criminal records came in clean from the FBI database.

    So... since this citation wasn't considered a criminal act and more likely considered as a civil forfeiture, will this affect future employment?

    The District Attorney told me if the future job applications asks if I was convicted of a Felony or Misdemeanor, I wouldn't have to check Yes to that, only if the application asked for ordinance violations.

    Thanks.

    Nobody here can promise that a future employer won't learn of the incident, but if you're talking about the average employer in a run-of-the-mill job they're probably not going to look that hard. Note, the store may have included your name in a database of known shoplifters that is shared with other participating retailers.
