Hey there,
I am extremely embarrassed about this, but I'm not really sure where to turn for answers. Today I was caught shoplifting an item under $10 at a Zellers in Ontario. I am banned from the stores and whatnot, which I understand and accept, but I'm not sure what happens or what I can do to prevent the legal implications. I have heard of a diversion program, does anyone know what that is about, or how I go about making it happen? This is my first offense, I have never done anything like it before, and I cooperated completely with the security guards. Will I go to court? Will I pay a ridiculous fine? Will it be on my criminal record? Will I be able to travel freely? Any info would be greatly appreciated, I'm really afraid of the results of this stupid choice. Thanks!
