    Unhappy Caught Shoplifting from Walmart, How Long Am I Banned for

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Ohio

    Yesterday i was caught shoplifting from Walmart. I am 17 years old. They took me aside and said that i was banned from this Walmart and that if i was caught in there again that the police would be called. My question is can i just go back there without them being able to do anything? All they asked for was a name. I gave them my actual name. They never took any other information other than that. They didn't take any photos or anything. If i can't go back is the ban permanent? Any help would be appreciated.

    The ban could last a year or for life. When Walmart tells the customer to GET OUT OF OUR STORE, they mean it. You will be slapped with a nice trespassing charge if you ever walk into a walmart regardless of location. That's right. You could be traveling to another state and Walmart in California will still yell the following words: GET OUT!
    Walmart is a huge national store chain and they share information with every location.

    A typical ban from Wal-Mart lasts for ever and includes Sam’s Club plus Murphy’s Gas Mart. They obtained your information from the Police by placing you on the trespass list and entered everything into their Asset Protection data bass (APIS) which means if you’re found at ANY Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club or Gas Mart you can be arrested on sight and charged with a criminal trespass.

    Which means, yes, you should tell your parents why you can't go into a Walmart.

    If you don't, I assure you they will make the biggest deal they can over clapping you in handcuffs and leading you through the store.

    Ask them if you're not sure how long the ban is. If they said it was only for that store, you can go to other Walmarts, but you should check that too. Remember, going back despite a ban could result in a trespassing charge.

    The guy just told me that if he caught me in walmart again that he will call the police. So i just assumed that he just meant that walmart.
