My question involves criminal law for the state of: CA
to day i was caught shoplifting a $4 Pencil from the CalPolly book store because i was not a student their and a minor they contacted the university Police. the cop was nice enough to issue me a citation and set me up a Cort date even though it was my first offense( actually when i was 13 i tried steeling a pack of bubble gum from a movie store but was asked to put it back before i left so i guess you could call me a second Offender) he let me go with my Brother and said i would get something in the mail im just wondering if the Cort is really going to press "petty theft" charges on me for a $4 Pencil.
ps save the "well you should have though about that befor you stole it"
and "it dosent matter how much the merchandise is its still steeling"
iv herd it all, im just looking for some info
