    Default Caught Shoplifting, What Will They Do?

    I was caught at a local market in IL cook county, Police were called, the Police let the store person counted the items and let me pay, I also got a receipt of its.

    then the police let the store person copy my DL, and tell them don't let me enter again. police also wrote dowm my info in a paper, didn't let me sign anything and let me go home.

    I'm very scared, who can tell me what's will they do?

    Ok did they not allow you to pay for items? If so there is no theft! Far as putting you in their systems, the store yes and they can ban you from store. This means if you enter store you can be tresspassed! Police now no there was no crime!

    It sounds like the officer filled out a "F.I." card which stands for "Field Investigation" card. They use them to gather information on people who like you broke the law but were not prosecuted. Lots of gang members get "F.I.'d" and on the card the officer lists, gang affiliation, tattoos, known associates and so on. It's for general contact information and they do keep track of this info, it probably won't be used against you unless you are contacted again by the police.

    BTW, the police told me don't enter that small market forever, and let them copy my DL. didn't let me sign anyting and let me go home.

    I'm in the supervision, so serious, scared, Will it affect the final disposition on my return court day? does the police file this to the court?
