My question involves criminal law for the state of: IL
How do you know if you have been charged and have a criminal record?
Shoplifted around $50 stuff.
I was arrested and brought to the station, no finger prints or anything, just took me ID and wrote information down, then my parents took me home. I never received a court date or anything, just a civil demand(just paid it). So when jobs do a background check on me as a first offender, does my name show up as a misdemeanor? Do I even have a misdemeanor?
