Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

Planning on committing retail fraud? Not enough excitement in your life? Think that the law allows your first crime at no charge? There are no free passes.

Go to any store you plan to steal from and look up at the ceiling. Do you see something that looks like little bowling balls? You're being watched. Some cameras are as small as a nickel.

Call me after you're arrested. I'll keep you out of jail.

Any time you committ a crime, you can be prosecuted. There are many factors that determine the penalty for committing a crime. You can read more about this at:

Also, be VERY cautious about any attorney that tells you "I'll keep you out of jail" or promises you any other specific results of a case. It is unethical for an attorney to make promises and promising case results in advance is not possible.

If you were under 21 when the retail fraud happened, you should look into having your case resolved with the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act ... where you're put on probation and the judge has the power to then dismiss the charge after successfully completing probation. (The probation terms can include jail, community service, etc, so it isn't a totally pain-free thing.)
