My question involves criminal law for the state of: California
Unfortunately I made the decision to shoplift. I honestly don't know why I did it and would never want to have to go through the experience again.
I am posting because I have a few questions. The manager at the store decided not to call the police. She filled out a loss prevention form the store then I had to sign paperwork about not returning for three years or I would be trespassing and then I was given a notice about recieving a civil demand.
I am quite prepared to pay the civil demand, but I was wondering if police could still be involved. Is it possible that the manager could have called the police after the fact? How would I know if am charged with anything?
