Find out if you were given a civil demand ticket,which you just got pay off,it can still have some bad consequences. If you got an appearance ticket and have to appear in court. Jail is no fun place,if it's a day or two,try not to stress it out so much,you will probably mostly be dealing with boredom. If you charged criminally plead not guilty and ask for a lawyer.

Isn't that the truth. I seriously - and I mean this in the most literal way - cannot understand what some judges are thinking. Were I a judge, it would be the SECOND time in front of me that garnered the 90 day sentence. We tried the fine/community service thing the first time, you learned nothing, and it's clear that you are just a criminal. Jail now and from now on.
That seems insane,I'm a nice guy,I say give them one chance. After that then some jail is definitely fair and on the third time it should automatic. I think giving a 1st time stop lifter a day in jail,can be a good lesson to learn. That one day in jail,is gonna convince a lot of people not to steal. Many keep on stealing,on their 3rd or 4th time,poor me I might be locked up.
