So you went thru the cashier line, and didn't purchase the products...so you were stealing them.

What's the problem with the result that you got arrested? Isn't that appropriate for stealing the merchandise?

one time I was stopped for shoplifting when I left wal-mart. The cashier had made a mistake and didn't deactivate the tag.

I too, was startled with the security officer stopped me since they grabbed me from behind. After a minute of discussion, I provided my receipt and showed them the merchandise. He apologized and I was on my way.

Why did you not take this logical step?

I mean, they must list the items you "stole" Seems like you could match it up with the receipt since you stated you actually paid for these items.

Oh yeah, get an attorney because it seems like you really need one
