I really appreciate your response but they claim they saw me on camera taking the item. But they didn't find anything on me, I showed the police everything I paid for and they search my bags which they didn't find nothing except of the items I brought. The cops said out his very own mouth, "this is bullshit" and told me I'm free to go. Later that night, I was told I was being charged for petty larceny. He told me to come to the precinct for a desk appearance ticket for court. How far you think this case would go? I'm praying to God, this don't mess up my record as a first time offender. Please let me know what you think. I really appreciate your concern. Thank you.
The police use lies to get stupid people to confess.
Store security lies to you, to get you to confess.
You can't get convicted by what a camera MIGHT show.
A criminal defendant has the RIGHT to confront any accusers in court.
No human being can confront, meaning cross examine a video.
It is never wise to talk to the police IF you're being investigated.
You have the RIGHT to REMAIN silent.
You get the ticket, you appear in court, you plead NOT guilty, you admit to nothing, you explain silent, if asked to comment by the cops or DA, you say, "Sorry, I invoke my right to remain silent and request a court appointed lawyer."
No matter what, keep repeating that mantra.
A fish gets caught when he opens his big mouth to bite that worm on that sharp hook.
I suggest you watch this video COMPLETELY to learn so much more.
Okay, good luck to you.
