So many people on here keep saying that people who flee stores after shoplifting could get warrants or summons on them months after the incident .
Although i'm sure it is possible when there is evidence such as camera or license plates, I also doubt that stores are going to prosecute someone unless they stole valuable items..............Do they really want to spend the money to press charges for a couple small items ?
And i also dont understand why it would take months for police to put out warrant or summons and why they can not just arrest someone if they are sure that the person matched the description of the incident or they had their license on camera.
And how would they decide on warrant vs. summons...........Why just out out a warrant.......then how does the person even know that they were charged with a crime if they arent notified.........
