What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
If you are caught shoplifting but the police were not called, can the store still send you to court?
I was with my friend the other day when she was caught stealing about 86 dollars worth of clothes. She was stopped by the loss prevention worker who took us to the back room and removed the clothes from my friends bag. She then got all my friends information and btw she is over 18 years old. My friend paid the $266 civil penalty fine right then and there and signed a paper saying she paid it in full and thAt she can't go into Macy's for 3 years. The loss prevention worker said she should be getting a letter in a few weeks with a court date but the police were not called? Can they actually send her to court or was she just trying to scare my friend?
