I got caught with a friend (both 18) shoplifting from wal-mart for about a lump sum of 30$ we got caught obviously and taken to the security office where the guy called the police and mall security. While waiting it was weird because ti being our first time we were unsure what the process was. The security officer said, "well it can be one of two things, one being your arrested if they find something else on your record, or two this is a caution for it is your first time." (caution meaning police can see it, but employers cant, and if we do anything this stupid again police can access that we had done it before.) later they took our pictures and then the police officer came, he asked why we did it, took our licenses and took down our information. Then turned to the security officer at walmart and said, "well i dont think doing a background check on the boys is needed, i believe them, but you can check our records and see them for yourself right?" and the security officer said "yes" Now we believe we don't have anytihng on our record, we didn't go to the station and we didn't sign anything (only thing we signed was that we couldn't go back there for a year) So my question is, was this a caution? And if so who can see it? And for other people this has happened to, what else did walmart do?
