k.
This happened about one month ago. Me and my friend were in a store and got caught for stealing when we walked out
I was not the one stealing but the under cover security guy heard me tell my friend to do it
I was charged with theft under 5000 and was told that I will receive a fine in my mail in about 10 days
So far I haven't received anything
I am 15 years old and I live in ontario, Canada.
I want to know, if my family plans to drive down to the states, would they stop us
And I heard that you are not aloud to go into any country with a criminal record
And by the way, the police officer had let us go on caution
And one more thing that happened before was, when I was 11 years old, I had been caught for stealing from another store, but I think that record got cleared out when I turned 12. I do not remember much details about that but I know that when I got caught with my friend a month ago, they asked me if we have been ever in contact with the police before, my friend and I both said no, then later they found out that my FRIEND has been in contact before and I haven't. So I guess my records were cleared out.
So basically, I just want to know, if I will be stopped at the border due to my criminal record.
And also what other punishments are their.

Thank you so much
I look forward to your reply's.

U don't have a "criminal record", since you're not even 18 yet. I just got charged with theft under $5000, buh charges were just dropped, and I'm 18, and I don't even have a criminal record with that. So since your so young, you should be fine

Yah true but...
Like won't it be on my records at least
And will it be removed when I'm 18
Cause they let me go on caution
