    Then I would again say, you were lucky. Try to not do it again. At age 25, many places would have had you in jail as soon as the poilce arrived!

    It depends on what the value was of what you took, YOUR AGE, and eactly **what charges if any were formally filed with the police.** If the police were involved, you can bet your parents or you would know about it! It should say on the NOTICE you got what you can and cannot do from now on. I would heed what they say to avoid any future problems. If you were lucky, you got off with a "warning" and something similar to a "restraining order" --e.g. "Do not come back in our store again!"

    If that is all it is you will have no criminal record if the police were not called and you did not have to go to court. Consider yourself VERY lucky.

    What you got was a trespass warning. In my state of Florida, if you are given a written trespass warning, it means that if you enter the property after being warned, you can be arrested for Trespass after warning which is a Misdemeanor. The trespass warning itself is not a criminal charge and does not reflect on any criminal record. But if you violate it, it can..

    Most of the time, when you shoplift, they usually say you can not come back for a year. I do not know if the Notice Prohibiting Entry, is different. I do know that if you try to re enter the property, after you have been told to stay away, the security guards can have you arrested for tresspassing. It sounds like you should just stay away for a while. I can not say any more without knowing all the details, but I trust that those who do, have allready answered you. Good luck to you!!!

    What you recieved from the mall security officer is a criminal trespass warning. The police did not arrest you because the security officer took action by issuing the trespass warning to you and chose not to prosecute you. The question is "will you be able to go there again"? that depends on what the notice states, and is there an expiration date on the notice. If the Trespass warning has no expiration date then you may face arrest charges if you return to the mall. A copy of the notice is kept in the mall security records and may be refered to at anytime. You may contact the mall managment and request that you be allowed to return to the mall and if the manager grants that, your file with the Mall security will be updated and you will be permitted shop there again. You do not have a criminal record at this point, keep it that way.
