Content: Target Shoplifting Fines and More
Each state has guidelines that define a specific dollar amount as the criteria for determining whether a shoplifting offense is a misdemeanor or a felony. For example, New York law states that a theft totaling under $1,000 is classified as a misdemeanor. A theft over $1,000 qualifies as felony larceny charges in New York, with varying degrees of severity as value increases. The charges and punishment for shoplifting are also determined by the shoplifting laws set by each state. Again, using New York as an example, a misdemeanor charge will result in up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine. Other Store Shoplifting Policies
