There are no small crimes. A conviction or guilty plea on a misdemeanor theft charge like shoplifting can have an unexpected, dramatic impact on your life. You may wind up with a conviction on your permanent criminal record, and employers take theft and shoplifting charges very seriously.
Passing bad checks, even unintentionally bouncing a check for a relatively small amount, may result in criminal charges. Your record, your credit rating and your reputation in the community may be at stake. My suggestion: do not plead guilty to a shoplifting charge or any other misdemeanor theft offense until you thoroughly understand the consequences of conviction.
