    Well, if this "fine" you're talking about is just a civil demand from the store, then no, it won't be on your record. If you were arrested, went to court, was sentenced, etc... and the fine was a result of that then yes it will be. I think a lot of people mix up court fines with civil demand notices.

    In tennessee, your juvenile record is like your left arm. it stays there for the duration of your lifetime. shoplifting is a serious crime, simply because of the involved implications surrounding the charge. governments will not hire you, once they conduct a record check and find a conviction of shoplifting. it s a tough law thats there a lifetime.

    Yes and no..

    State laws and guidelines for recordkeeping vary a little but generally the following is true:

    Juvenile offense records that are not Class-A felonies are expunged when the person turns 18 years old. This means that to the public, the records are not available and the offenses never happened.

    The police and judicial system, however retain all records and have access to them forever.
