    Laws - View Law: SHOPLIFTING


    Shoplifting is more than just leaving a store with something you did not pay for. Shoplifting is also obtaining goods by charging the purchase price of an item to a fictitious person; paying less than the purchase price of the item by changing the labels in some way; moving the item to a different container; and hiding the item in some way from view. (A.R.S. § 13-1805).

    If you are a minor, your parents or legal guardian can be held responsible for any damages that you caused. (A.R.S. § 12-661). Shoplifting property with a value of more than $2,000 is a class 5 felony. Shoplifting with a value of less than $250.00 is a class 1 misdemeanor.

    If you are found guilty of shoplifting, you could be fined, have to perform community service, or be placed on probation with up to one year in detention. (A.R.S. § 13-1805) If found guilty of shoplifting you might also be required to pay a penalty of $100.00 in addition to the actual damages to the owner (the price of what you took). (A.R.S. § 12-692)

    The first few comments were probably posted by the admin of this site. Arizona is such a backwards hick state, I mean what is up with a curfew? No, colleges dont care if you stole stuff or not.

    I just got caught lifting 30$ at kmart a couple days ago, but i doubt they had proof, till i told them, im pretty sure they have to have proof of every step of the robbery to be able to grab you, but the guy got me outside the store and forcefully took me in, does anyone know if that was some kind of assult, or if they do need proof, because i dont want to have to pay any fine, and i think that shoplifting in big chains is alright, becuase they deserve it for selling stuff so expensive,plus its not like walmart is suddenly gonna go broke,this way we keep them from taking over the world. hehe
