    Default Re: Caught Shoplifting for the First Time in Illinois

    Hey, I saw you post on my forum so I decided to post here incase you don't see the answer on mine.
    Same thing happened to me at Best Buy they had camera footage and everything. I'll tell you how the court was for me.
    It's not just all about you there is many other people there, they will ask you if you are guilty or not Infront of the court, For myself I said "I'd like to speak to the prosecutor"
    I waited until the prosecutor called me up and that's when they informed me of an offer of community service, good behavior, and a tour of a prison. After that is completed there will be no record of the incident.
    That's my personal experience, follow it if you choose hope all works out and overall when I went Infront of the judge it took less then 5 minutes. I am supposed to go back after all is done my community service but if I finish within 30 days I do not have to go back to court.
    Good luck!

    You should get a tour alright. You should get to stay there 2 or 3 days. That might actually make an impression. That's what I love about courts around here - even in this fairly large urban area, there are definitely judges that will lock you up for shoplifting, even if it's only for 2 or 3 days.

    New Hampshire is a far cry from Illinois.
