What to do if I was caught shoplifting and the cops were called, so I used a fake ID?
Initially I told the loss prevention guy that caught me that I did not have any id on me, but they took a peek in my purse and saw my wallet and asked me to open it and saw my ID which happens to be fake. So when the cops are called the loss prevention guy handed the cops my fake ID. The first thing they told me was that I’m lucky they are not arresting me but instead giving me a citation. The other cop called my fake id info and I thought I was getting arrested anyway because of fake id but the cop came back and just handed me my ID and gave me a piece of paper and said that that acts as my summons and there is a court date on it. How didn’t they catch my fake?

Hello. I urge you to have private attorney counsel right away - seek an attorney licensed in your state. You should also never again provide a false/fake identification/i.d. to the police. This issue is not uncommon in criminal law. Some attorneys are available seven days for emergency legal needs. Many attorneys will speak initially at no charge. Then, if legal work is performed, some attorneys will provide a reduced fee for financial hardship. All the best.
