ok heres the deal.
i go to a college in california, and i stole a $1.75 starbucks frappachino from the student store. The caught me, but no police were involved. When i asked them to show me the video tape of me stealing, they told me i wasnt entitled to see it. so first question is, am i entitled to see it?
One of the LP personale asked me why did i take it, and i didnt want to answer it, but it seemed like he'd keep asking me until i answered so i said i didnt feel like paying for it, which i realized was a mistake immediatly after.
also, what would have happened had they called the police?
they told me to sign this paper that basically says i admit to stealing, but i refused to sign it.
so now, i have to pay $350 to the store, as a fee for the trouble i guess. What can i do legally to avoid paying for this. For example, can i file charges against them for something like false arrest.
btw, they also searched my wallet and backpack without my consent, is that legal in this case?
answer and help are appreciated, please be sympathetic. i dont need people shaming me, keep responses objective. thanks
also, if you have any question on my situation, please ask, i will gladly answer them in detail.
