My question involves criminal law for the state of: California
I am so desperate for answers. I was caught shoplifting from Target- about $100 worth of clothes. The police came and gave me a citation for petty theft. I have no criminal record at all prior to this. My concern is that I have shoplifted from this Target before... many times. I'm usually pretty good at concealing it, but I was careless this time. I know that Target is big on investigations... does anyone know if they might pull up old videos?? Has this happened to anyone else?! I know I'll get fined for this but I'm terrified they're going to launch some sort of full blown case against me... I've never felt more guilty or stupid in my life. Please help me. Maybe somebody who worked in loss prevention at target??
