If it was a long-long time ago, and you were very young and stupid, and you GREATLY regret your crime, some departments MAY overlook very minor offenses. But don't hold your breath on this - best thing to do is to ask the department you're intrested in and be honest. They're going to find out anyway, so you might as well be up-front about it.
In Canada, if you are acquitted of the charge, you shouldn't have any problem becoming a cop. So if you have a good defense, you better fight the charge with a good lawyer.
More often than not, yes it can be changed. But remember, if you steal an item that is valued more than a chocolate doughnut, the shoplifting charge will remain.
yes it can as long as a charge has already been made against the person or bin caught shoplifting.
The fact that you were arrested, the charge, AND the fact that it was dsimissed WILL appear (unless expunged).
shoplifting is stealing...The value of what you steal during shoplifting depends on the degree of the charge. In New York, petit larceny is sealing anything valued under $1000. OVer $1000. then starts the degree of Felony. Shoplifting is a form of stealing usually when you go into a store to steal. DO NOT STEAL
Technically and morally, yes. You don't have a valid receipt. If you get stopped leaving the store they can charge you with shoplifting.
A criminal charge is a charge brought forth by law enforcement for a legally punishable crime. An example of criminal charges might be murder, theft, grand theft, and shoplifting.
Can you become a cop if you don't get tazzered but still go on the streets in a police car?????
In Texas, a shoplifting charge can stay on your record permanently, unless you are able to have it expunged or sealed. Expungement is possible in certain circumstances, such as if the charges were dismissed, you completed a diversion program, or you were acquitted.
Yes, the stupid mistake you made when you were 18 is still haunting you.
18
You have to become a cop.
