Legal Info
 

If anyone knows anything bout bein an accomplice for shoplifting, let me know. I need to get some education on this.

all i know is being an accomplice makes you an accessory to the crime being committed

dunno how harsh the penalty is in relation to the penalty for doing the actual crime though..sorry

LOL @this......

most of the time shoplifting is a fine...especialy if ur under 18 man.....


unless ur stealing like.....100's or 1000's of dollars worth of shit no one really cares.......

worse thats gona happen is a fine

$150...........

u can be kicked out the place and a fine...thats it, no jail time...unless over 1000

depends the stores policies....all stores a different

well i been arrested before for going through cars that wasnt mine
and it was me and 2 of these cats i used ta kick it wit but they didnt do shit
i was the one goin through cars but because they knew what was going on and they didnt try ta stop me they was arrested and charged with being just as responsible for the situation as i was and they got the same punishment as i did..the punishment is up to the judge and the jury but yea ur considered as i heard someone else say in here an accessory of the crime
we was given a choice..it was either come up front and pay a $180 fine
or it was 4 hours of community service and write a 150 word essay why its bad ta go through cars, which is the one i did

accessory to shoplifting is barely even a "crime". my cousin got hit with it a long time ago, doesn't even go on your perm. record.

If it doesn't go on my record then I don't care.

wit me it does if u payed the fine but it wouldnt if u did the community service

thats bullshit it wouldnt either way........................

I feel bad for my friend, he is gonna be convicted of a felony.

hell only get probation thou no jail time so fuck it if he under 18 itll be gone anyway if not get a pardon or sum shit its only a theft under 1000 fine

Well problem is he resold the item.

Though I believe they are only pressing charges for selling stolen property.

Nothing resulting in a fine goes on your perminant record.

...therefore neither of you will have a record.

However, the person shoplifting may either be fined, or get extra-judicial measures of some sort, such as community service, if you underage.

The person that was with the person committing the act will only get in trouble (less) if they helped the shoplifter in anyway, eg. pre-meditation, like if you had to do with it somehow.
