What happens when you get caught shoplifting?
I'm from BC, Canada and I got caught shoplifting from H&M last week. It was very stupid of me, I know. And believe me, I have learned my lesson. I just turned 19 so I didn't get my parents called on me. I signed some papers and they told me I am banned from all H&Ms and that I will receive a letter in the mail because I am fined by the store. Police was called on me and an officer did come. He talked to me and said that I was genuine and just made a bad decision. I asked him what was going to happen to me and he said he would have to ask another person, or group of people, or something like that and they would decide what happens to me, if I am getting charged or not. He told me he would give me a call the following day if I was being charged or not, specifically after 5:00 pm because I told him that was when I get off work. But he never gave me a call back. He gave me his calling card, but I never tried giving him a call because he said he would do the calling.
I get the part where I am banned from the store but what about with the police? Is something going on my record? I am so worried because I still have my whole life ahead of me and I have learned my lesson and I just don't want my future to suffer.
I need useful information if you have any, please.
