I refused to sign the guilt admission form given by the LP. I forgot to pay for an item in the stroller and it was an honest mistake. The police were called before I refused to sign the paper and I was arrested. I went back to the store the next day and told them that I was willing to pay whatever fine they charge me. The manager of the store said I can continue shopping in the store. This happenned 2 months back and I haven't received the civil demand that everyone here seems to be receiving. My question is, did they not send it to me because I didn't sign the paper? Will I receive the civil demand if I'm convicted? Will it be helpful for my case if I contact the store again and proactively pay them a fine.
My lawyer suggested me not to pay the civil demand in case I receive it![]()
