The charge placed me on probation and can I sue Dicks Sporting Goods where the video was obtained?
answered on Dec 4, 2023
As you know, the sporting goods store didn't file charges or put you on probation. A case for malicious prosecution or alike isn't easy to win. Finding an attorney could be difficult. Being placed on probation may not add up to much in damages ($.)

The judge may allow you to retrieve your possessions. The will not award you money. You don't, however, have much to lose by bringing the subject up. Who is the petitioner? I am guessing, you.
