RLP shoplifting at TK Max
Hello everyone
Hello everyone
I have read a few treads before posting but I would like to check according to my situation.
I have been caught shoplifting a £19 pounds make up item at tkmax.
Security stopped me at the entrance and took me into a room with 2 men and one lady. They said they recorded me shoplifting and asked me if I admitted it. I said yes.
They asked me an identification and took my details and address. I offered to pay the item and they refused. They said that it was an offence and I could get arrested for that, so I thought the police would be coming.
They asked me to sign an admission of guilt which I did. I asked to see the cctv record and they denied it. They said they are not authorised to do that.
They said I would get a letter with a fine.
My questions are:
Should I just ignore the letters or write back asking to send me the cctv recording? I have seen a treat where it is advised to reply about their procedure being unlawful and data protection. Should I do this?
Could you confirm that this will not appear in any database, or affect my records in the future? Bank, mortgage,etc
Finally, I am European, I have been in the UK for 8 years and have no Criminal records. Can this affect my future permanent residence ?
I know it's wrong and I am not trying to excuse myself, but I would like to get some advice as I am quite worried at the moment.
Very Many thanks for your help.
