    Caught shoplifting
    I got caught shoplifting yesterday. I was kept by the security guards and then the police came and sent me home, they told me I need to go for a court. The thing is under $100 and it's just the first time, also I'm under 18. Do you guys think there are any chances for charge?

    First its not a good idea to piggyback your question on someone else's. This can lead to confusion. You should start a new thread. So I've moved your question to its own thread.

    Second, ANY question on law needs to include your general locale as laws vary by area.

    Generally a first offense does not get jail time and you could have your record cleaned if you perform community service.
