Topic	Can anyone shoplift things under $500 without consequences now?
rjsilverthorn 12/18/21 4:02:43 PM #12:	wolfy42 posted... Ok, I have found some information by checking the internet. First the $500 thing is for it to be a felony, any amount can be a misdemeanor, and can cause you to have a criminal record, so there is that. I'm still doing research but again, anyone who knows more about this, chime in!! I'll probaby find it all out eventually online but real life experience is awesome too. The legal side is going to vary greatly depending on where you are, since this isn't federal law. I can say that even when I worked retail at Gamestop back in the early 90's they told us to not try and stop shoplifters. Basically we should be out and about on the floor to discourage casual shoplifting, but even if someone set off the alarm on the way out we weren't supposed to do anything. <cite>rjsilverthorn posted [p:961025881] in Can anyone...
