    Default What Happens if You're Caught Shoplifting at Target

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: California
    So today me and my friend were caught shoplifting today. We took a pack of tee shirts and a pack of socks which was approximately a total of $30.
    However when we were walking out an undercover member as well as the security guard stopped us and made us empty out our purses. Then to show us a receipt for the items we stole. We didn't have the receipt since we shoplifted so the man told us that he never wanted to see us in the store again and that if we were caught in the store then we would consider to be trespassing and further action would be taken from there.
    Does this mean that I am banned from all Targets since they probably took a picture of me and my friend from the security cameras? Also, how long would it take for me to go back to that Target?
    They also did not ask for my name or any ID.
    I do feel bad for shoplifting and will never do it again. I simply am asking because besides from this I have bought everything else from Target which would amount to at least $500 worth of items.
    I am asking out of curiosity and I will no longer be shopping at Target.

    Stay out of ALL Target stores, period. I mean - don't even go into one in another state. Target has their own crime lab, including Facial Recognition Software.

    You dodged a bullet with no police being called. That $30 of items could have cost you THOUSANDS. You may still get a Civil Recovery letter in the mail from Target or it's lawyers - PAY IT.

    You can shop Target online. that's it. Do not even enter their parking lot or they can have you arrested for Criminal Trespass.

    If I were to dress differently, could I go into Target again? Like wear glasses and did my hair differently, would I be allowed in?

    Is there some reason that you must shop at Target?

    You would need to wear an LED light on your forehead to block facial recognition software. I think store LP would be suspicious of the light on your forehead.
