    Default Macys Shoplifting

    hi me and my friend where caught shoplifting at macys in new york. the things is that my friend was the one that stole the items and they said they had to take me in also bc i knew he was doing it. they said that i didn't have to pay anything but i had to sign papers and since that i was 18 they needed a picture of me. my friend is 17 and then i had to sign for his release. they took down all my info where i live phone numbers and SSN. they said that we wouldn't get arrested and that my friend had to pay 500$ restitution fee. we also signed papers to not go into the store for 7 years.

    i am wondering can they still press charges against me? since i didn't take anything?

    would my friend get charged?

    also would they call your home? bc i don't want our parents to find out

    also if you go into the store again..how can they track you down like just in case you decide to go to the store with your parents and you haven't told them that you got caught shoplifting.

    thanks

    If they didn't give you a civil demand, it's reasonable to infer that they don't intend to prosecute you. I doubt that they will call your home, as you are an adult. But if you don't want your parents to find out you've been involved in a shoplifting incident, I suggest moving out of your home before frequenting stores with friends who steal.

    If you decide to violate your contract not to go back into the store, when they have you charged with kidnapping you can ask them how they discovered that you were shopping in violation of the trespass order. We don't know their techniques, and they don't have to tell us.
