Hello everyone ..
I was arrested for retail theft , I was a misunderstanding. I went to answer my phone cause I had bad reception , had a few things in my hands , just walked out of the store and stood outside to take the call. Store personnel came , and eventually called the cops . I explained I never intended to leave with the things only went to answer the call however they didn't listen. I admit it was my absent mindedness that I walked out and didn't think about it .
Anyway was finger printed and taken to court , the charges were dismissed, no probation , no fine , no deferred prosecution nothing. The judge believed me, said it was badluck , told me they won't prosecute , and to be careful. The charges were dropped however the arrest is on my record.
How can this affect me in getting a residency and subsequently getting a license?
I'm going out of my mind here ..
Any input would be appreciated .
Please refrain from negative comments, I'm already ****ting a brick ..
Thank you
