Today I was with a friend of mine at the mall, and well she was shoplifting and she got caught and it was guilt by association. I am in a lot of trouble with the law. I'm no longer allowed to go to that mall for 6 months, and never allowed to shop in that store again. Anywhere in the US. So my question is, how do I get through this? and have you gotten in any kind of trouble with the law?

There are alot of shoplifter's out there. In fact I know my daughter inlaw had one living with her for awhile and she kicked her out when she found out what she was doing. You can get in alot of trouble just being with someone that is doing it. They figure that way you are keeping someone's eye's on you while they are stealing stuff. Even if you go to court they will still, find you guilty as an accomplice if you try and fight it. My advice is just say guilty and learn your lesson. Alway's beware of people you are around. No, I have never been in trouble with the law. I have 3 son's that are all police officer's. Only one son decided not to get into law.

hi ashley well I am very embarrassed to Admit this but once I was tempted to swipe a bottle of nose spray,i was broke and I had a bad cold.now I was not a kid but I just was stupid and knew it was wrong.' but I got caught and the store mAnager told me like you I could not come back into that store for six months.they did not call the police.well I never did this Again.I knew better so never again.finally the workers and manAgers in the store pretty much allquit and there were a whole slew of new employees who didnt know anything about the nose spray incident.so I went back to shopping in that store and hAve shopped there every since.I never did anything like that again.but in your c ase why did they do that to you,you didnt steal anything? Let your parents help you deal with this and see a lawyer,get your dad to do this as I dont think that they can do this to you and get away with it.you were not the shoplifter.
