    Accused of theft? What to do next<\/h2>\n

    Take these four steps before doing anything else:<\/b><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. If a store detains you, stay calm and don\u2019t resist. <\/b>You don\u2019t have to answer their questions or consent to a search. Only the police can properly search you.<\/li>\n
    2. Do not throw away receipts or delete messages. <\/b>Keep anything that could support your side of the story.<\/li>\n
    3. Say as little as possible to the police. <\/b>Identify yourself, but don\u2019t say much else.<\/li>\n
    4. Ask for a lawyer right away. <\/b>This is your legal right.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Even if the police don\u2019t hold you for a bail hearing, be sure to talk to a lawyer before your first court date.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
