Q: Why would Target allow you steal
My sister was caught doing retail fraud. The security guards at target told her and her friend that they have been watching them and know that they been doing this at other targets because face recognized. My sister admit she had items in her car cause the security guard threat her and said she was going to jail for along time if she didn't. She told them she had a camera and glassware and the security guard said he didn't care about the glassware which cost the same as the camera he just want the camera. The police came and didn't arrest them just give them a court date. I just don't how it's legal for them to let her steal why didn't they stop it the first time and why allow her to keep one thing and not the other it don't same right for them to do that. And is there anything she can do to help her.
A:
More info is needed to properly evaluate your case. They may have been trying to gather more info.
the citation she rec'd is the same as an arrest as it orders her to appear for an arraignment before a judge to plead guilty or not guilty.........
However, it is always a good idea to contact a local attorney that handles these cases in the courthouse to which you are ordered to appear.
In other words, I am in Palm Springs and you don’t want to hire a Palm Springs lawyer for an Orange Co case.
Most criminal and accident lawyers will offer a free consultation to review the facts.
The case will depend on how the evidence was obtained and the details regarding the stop and arrest, as well as a review of the facts of your case.
Call a local attorney to discuss this matter in more detail and request an appointment.
Don't discuss your matter on a platform like this as what you say can be used against you.

Good Luck
