You can be charged with shoplifting if you are with someone who appears to be shoplifting. To

be charged, ;otherwise, one has to have the item under his control. You need to tell me exactly the facts of your case.

Call me if you like.

Not necessarily, but it is certainly a more difficult case for the state to prove if you don't have the stuff in your possession. Please contact me to discuss your case in more detail. I never charge for simply talking to a person about their case. Thank you.
