    Default Caught Shoplifting, No Police Called or Ban from Store

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Massachusetts.

    My first question is how secure these forums are. Who reads them? Although obviously there is no identifying information, does law enforcement access this forum digging for info?

    It's open to the public. And yes, law enforcement can read your post. So....

    You have an anonymous name. Good.

    So...basic details....if we need more we'll ask.

    Juvenile/adult?
    First time offender?
    Value of stuff stolen.
    Cops involved or not? Did you get a court summons or not? If you have a court summons, what is the charge?

    Adult. First offense. Under $35.

    No cops--LP said "I give everyone one chance." Didn't sign the CDL notice as it contained a written admission of guilt. Did not give me the other paper on which they took down info. I'm assuming from what I'm reading that it was a trespass notice or store ban, which was never mentioned. LPO seemed to acknowledge my contrition and embarrassment, though obviously thought I was an idiot. LPO didn't even escort me to the exit, which was at the opposite end of the store.

    I assume you will be getting a Civil Demand in the mail. Pay it.

    If you get a court summons in the mail...you will want to hire an attorney.
