Jurisdiction

Massachusetts

So I shoplifted about a year ago and the store caught me. She took down all my info and my pic, and I paid
My civil demand so nothing else
Has come from it. How ever I have been reading that it is possible for me to still have a criminal record even though the police weren't involved? Help!

I am a Retail Theft Consultant and answer questions like yours daily. Without Police or court date there is NO CRIMINAL record. However your name could be in a Retail theft database which will only impact you if you seek work in retail

How many times do you plan to ask the SAME question?

Here, allow me to help.

Yes, I checked, you DO ave a criminal record and criminal warning:

It reads: DON'T hire this THIEF. The THIEF has serious issues with lying and stealing.

Probably until they get the answer they want to hear.
