THEFT OF PROPERTY LAWYER

It's important to know what gives the store the right to detain you for shoplifting or stealing. There are several things that must occur, but the first is probable cause which means that a Walmart employee must physically see you grab the merchandise and conceal it as you exit or attempt to exit the store. Every jurisdiction is different, but in Gadsden, employees do no not have to wait until you leave the store. If you are suspected of shoplifting they may approach you at anytime while you are on the property. However, the key word is "probable cause" because this is what will likely be argued in court. If an attorney is able to prove that there was not enough probable cause for the staff at Walmart to approach you, then your case could get dismissed.
