Shoplifting? How To Find Out Whether It Was Intentional Or Not

 At present, robbery, dacoity, and shoplifting have become more common than earlier. You might have heard two terms known as "petty theft" and "grand theft." But are they the same? No, they are not.

According to the California penal code, under sections 484 and 488, shoplifting is defined as a misdemeanor if it involves taking someone's personal property worth more than $950 or less without consent with the intention of permanently holding it, depriving its owner of its sight and possession. But if the value exceeds $950, it is charged as grand theft, which can also be prosecuted as a misdemeanor or felony act.

What is shoplifting?

 Under penal code section 459.5, shoplifting is generally denoted as taking merchandise from a commercial establishment without paying for it. In Los Angeles, there are two crimes that are linked together: shoplifting and commercial burglary. Commercial burglary is the term defined as trespassing on someone's commercial establishment with the malign intention of conducting a crime there.

 What is accidental shoplifting?

Have you ever thought that shoplifting can be accidental? Yes, accidental shoplifting happens when there is no intention of depriving the owner of their own personal commercial establishments. It's very important to understand that people sometimes make false accusations when they get caught, but that case can't fall under accidental shoplifting.

 All in all,

 If you are unaware of someone's intention, either they want to permanently deprive you of your own establishment or somehow it happens that things appear to be ingestion-like but it is not. Let these things be settled by a good lawyer if the potential risk of damage was unexpected.
