$20 Shoplifting (CRIMINAL LAW & PROCEDURE)

Sat, 13 Dec 2008 11:23:00 GMT

My question involves criminal law for the state of: California

Got caught shoplifting at Walmart. Got two tickets for it. I was wondering as they were finalizing paperwork, I read an article in the office that said they were no longer going to prosecute anyone that shoplifted $25 or less anymore. Anything I can say or do?

  • An internal walmart memo has no bearing on process of law.

    Much like the common misperception that a cop will "give you" 10 over the speed limit... It's called discretion.

  • Wal-Mart did have a general policy sometime back, but left it to individual stores or Districts. It didn't take long for them to abandon that.
