It's depends on how they filed it. If there were no police involved and you never stepped foot in court, then you shouldn't have it on your record.


Independ"ant"
Who issued the fine?

If it was the court then yes.....it will be on your record.

ETA....No....you got lucky.


ETA......If you weren't arrested AND/OR you didn't have to go to court.......there will be nothing on your record......if anyone ever asks you about past criminal activity/convictions SAY NO/ NOTHING. There will be now way for them to know about your incident.

Ignore the asses making rude comments...you sound like you've learned your lesson.......everyone makes mistakes.

who did you pay a fine to? It sounds more like you payed someone at kohls off so they would call the police. The only way you would have a record from this is if the court system was involved so I would say you're clear.

if there were no involvements with the cops and you did not go to the police station and nothing was filed on you i don't believe that it would go on your permanent record although in most situations it does go on your permanent record

No there is no permanent record if the cops were not involved.
I hope you dont do it the next time.

This was a wake up call, i bet the fine was Much much More than the article you pinched costs , It could of been a lot worse , so , Leave well alone ,

if you do not have the money to purchase, leave it in the store.
shame on you for trying to steal.
don't continue to take something that does not rightfully belongs to you.
check with the court system to see if your record can be sealed from this incident. being that you are 18 you may not be considered a juvenile.
