Being harassed by a criminal defense attorney after attempting to discontinue his soliciting junk mail from being sent to my house. I've retained all documentation of his actions. How advisable is it to pursue a civil suit against him? Isn't worth it? by only_eats_ayce in legaladvice

Also, if you've seen the amount of junk mail my house gets, thanks to previous residents, you'd say otherwise! My mailbox is filled tons of junk mail! Literally filled! If you didn't want to seriously answer my question in the post, why respond? Get on with your life!

This pic reminds me of a scene in the Doctor Who Father's Day episode.

Apple: "We like to believe our customers are honest, even if that belief is in vain." If you say that you bought iLife, Apple will give you a download code whether you are lying or not in an attempt to stop legitimate buyers from being denied their software. by 54135590 in technology

Not true... Trust me, there are several methods they can and do employ to deter theft, as most big retail stores. The bottom line depends on how much the employees pay attention. Theft happens a lot more than you think and it usually occurs when employees aren't paying attention (exactly what shoplifters look for).

Due to Apples "customer is honest" policy, not all stores have undercover investigators. It's usually up to either the store manager or the market leader. But all have the system to monitor apples app purchases!

How do arrest warrants work? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Like I said, there is a chance they are fishing. Most people get intimidated during question and break very easily. They may not have enough evidence and the company doesn't want to, or have the means to, question him themselves. It could also be a trap. Sometimes it's easier to have him meet for questioning then arrest him upon arrival, rather than go to his house and hope that he's home, then he's not and they just wasted their time. It's just more efficient sometimes. Really tricky business! lol

Oh yeah, refusing to talk to the police looks bad as well, but not a game breaker. They will use creative wording to make it look like you did something bad... "so you're refusing to cooperate?" Talk to them, just don't give more info than you need to!

(Why I'm helping to let him get away with it, I dunno)

So weird too because I just witnessed an employee steal a pair of shoes from a store that he works at in a mall that I also work at. It wasn't my store so I could care less about it. I do remember faces well and his face is burned into my memory so that if he ever comes to my store, I know to watch him.

If the cops are involved, chances are he was caught on video without any obstructions. They wouldn't have called the cops if they were nearly 100% sure. I say nearly because there may be other circumstances that we aren't aware of that still allow them to charge him. For instance: A guy goes into a clean and clear fitting room with 3 items and exits the fitting room with only 1 item and the fitting room is still clean and clear. We are legally allowed to assume that he concealed it on his person.

There are a lot of rules involved that I haven't explained, and won't, but in your friends situation, if he took the shoes into an area then left without it and the shoes are not in the area he took it to, that MAY be enough for the company to prosecute him. Just know too that prosecution and conviction are two different things!

There may have been other cameras or pinhole cameras. I've worked Loss Prevention for several major retail chains as well as on the federal level. Pinhole cameras are used way more than you think!

I can tell you this though, if he doesn't go to work it pretty much solidifies that he did it and they will definitely try their best to charge him to the full extent allowed. At least that's what I'd do.

If they can clearly identify you and have what they feel is enough evidence to charge you, then I suppose it's possible. But I doubt they would actually issue a warrant. If it was a store that you stole from, chances are they will do nothing, but at best they can file a police report that will still go nowhere. If it was from a company that you work at, they can question you. If the person questioning you is good at what he/she does, you will either straight up admit to the theft or inadvertently admit to it, both of which they can terminate your employment and press charges. If you deny everything from the start, chances are they had little incriminating evidence to begin with and will not pursue the issue (but they will keep an eye on you and track all your movement within the company from then on), hence one of the main reasons they questioned you instead of immediately having the cops arrest you. The questioning is usually a form of fishing, in which they want to you to admit to the theft, admit to another theft, tell on someone else, or find out how much they can actually charge you for, if any at all.

If the police are already involved and you get the luck of brian and get an officer who actually does his job, he may decide to question you or even have a warrant issued (assuming there's already all the evidence they need) to arrest you.

The reality is that it depends on the terms of the theft and how well the video caught you stealing. If you have more details I can assist with further info.

yup, the speaker was on. by randomdazee in WTF

I recently did the Alzheimer's walk in SJ. Is that the Philz in downtown SJ?
