My question involves criminal law for the state of: California
I am going to be completely honest here.
I have been shoplifting alcohol from this Safeway for a while, probably 20 times total. Today, when I was walking out the door with about $40 of alcohol, a manager that recognized me stopped me on the way out when I was still inside the store. He took the bag, and said that he had pictures and that I would get my license taken away for years. Then I just left. Don't think he saw my car, as I parked far away. He didn't try to stop me or keep me there. I'm a minor, 17 years old.
I have a couple of questions.
1. Will he do anything? Why didn't he keep me there? All my friends that have been caught shoplifting were stopped in the store, detained, and their parents called then and there.
2. If he did want to screw me over, what's the worst that he could do?
3. Would this affect me going to college in any way? I'm a senior and I've recieved decisions from some schools, and I'm still in the process of applying to others.
4. How will this affect my permanent record?
5. How will this affect my part time job?
6. If he calls my parents, about how long will he wait to call them? In other words how long do I have to wait until I know that I'm safe?
Please no ethical lectures, I know what I've done wrong and that's not what I'm here for. Thank you so much, as you can imagine I'm pretty worried right now.
