My question involves criminal law for the state of: orlando florida
good day all, I am a Bahamain woman, not a florida resident who just been to Orlando florida this month. i got myself in a predicament where i made a bad decision of shop lifting items in the amount about $57.00. i was caught and taken in the back of the store where i was questioned and my photo taken and i was given a notice for a civil demand notice. A sherifft was called who questioned me further but he didn't arrest me and gave me no papers or anything like that. i was let go after all that to go back in the mall with my kids. i left with the civil demand notice. i am back home in the bahamas and dont know what to do?
i need to know what will happen to me and what should i do in obtaining a lawyer, should it be a bahamian lawyer or florida lawyer? what is a civil demand notice?
