Advisory - Shoplifting
Shoplifting is stealing and persons who steal can expect to be dealt with accordingly by a Court of Law. Besides the obvious embarrassment of appearing in Court, the convicted shoplifter faces a fine or term of imprisonment of both. It is possible that he or she will be placed on the Immigration Stop Lists of foreign countries (especially those in North America), and any future opportunities for further job training and education abroad will be severely limited. Finally, of course, the convicted shoplifter collects a criminal record.
