| | In many cases, those who wish to become involved in negotiations over shoplifting cases are required to complete an anti-shoplifting class up front and bring proof of completion with them to court. | | | Many people, unfamiliar with the Nassau County criminal justice system, mistakenly assume that a person arrested for the first time will be able to make his case go away simply and quietly regardless of the circumstances. | | | The greater the value of the property, the greater the likelihood that the District Attorney's Office and the Court will be seeking stiff fines and possibly even jail time. |
