Q: I was caught on camera 26 time.forgetting to scan something…over a period of time . They stopped me and call the police.
he gave me a citation and told me to watch for a court date and this was at her yet what do I need to do? I do feel I rush and don’t pay attention to close when scanning or missing….. please give me advice
A: First, do what needs to be done to ensure that never happens again. (Perhaps, never use to self-check out lane again.) Next, set a goal for outcome in the criminal case. (Perhaps "avoid a conviction record.") To help accomplish your goal, get help from a criminal defense lawyer, either a private or public defender.
A: The phrasing of this question is a tad confusing. I’m not sure if this is one instance or a series of instances (reference to over a period of time). In any event, you need to take this seriously, a theft on your criminal record is going to carry long term consequences for employment, housing, etc. You need to get legal representation, either a private attorney or a public defender, to minimize the consequences that you might be facing here. Good luck!
