What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado.
Today my teenage daughter was given a ticket for shoplifting even though she did not steal the item (a Sharpie pen). My daughter and her friend were taken from the checkout line to a back room were her friend confessed to taking the item. The theft was at a Walgreen's store across from her high school. The ticked does not seem fair or legal to me. Can someone who was accompanying a person who shoplifted be charged with shoplifting?
Thanks in advance for any help/advice.
