Best Answer

Accused of stealing because you was with the person who committed the crime.

Another View: The above answer factually desribes someone who is an active ACCOMPLICE in the commission of a criminal act. 'Complicity' actually covers a wider definition.

Complicity refers to when someone is legally accountable, or can be held liable for a criminal offense, based upon the criminal act of another person.

Criminal complicity may arise in the following situations:

With the intent to promote or assist the commission of the offense:

1. a person procures, induces or causes such other person to commit the offense; or

2. a person aids or abets such other person in committing the offense; or

3. having a legal duty to prevent the commission of an offense, that person fails to make the effort he is legally required to make.

It generally means that, although you may not have actually committed the crime yourself, that you knew, or helped plan, or assisted in some way, the person who did carry it out.
