My son was arrested for stealing cigarettes from a store he worked in. The cops came into his apartment and searched his place with no search warrant and then arrested him. He is 18 years old and we live in Canada. What should I do? Hire a lawyer? Could he get jail for this?
Yes, it was a moment of stupidity that my son took the cigarettes. The cigarettes were found at a friend of my sons house, and this so called friend gave a statement saying they were my sons. Can a statement from one person result in these charges against my son?
