Driving Someone Who Shoplifted

r/

About a day ago I took someone I knew to Nostrom Rack and they stole some shoes got chased by lp and ran out the door yelling my name. I was going to drive off but I got scared he kept yelling my name and stopped. Am I going to go to jail now? I was driving my car that’s under my name.

location: San Diego

    Uh well seeing as you’re in California I’d doubt it

    Otherwise, it’s most likely a misdemeanor theft (depending on dollar amount) and they’re gonna want to charge him, not you.

    Worst case scenario is you get a knock at the door, if they have no pic of you driving, say you have no idea you let friends use it all the time. 🤷

    If he stole at least $950, it could be charged as a felony. You could be charged as an accessory after the fact, but it would be difficult for them to make the charges stick.

    If police or anyone else asks about it, do not answer any questions or volunteer any information. The only thing you should say is “I will not answer questions without a lawyer “
