In Florida, Retail Theft or Shoplifting is the act of taking something from a retail store unlawfully with the intent to temporarily or permanently deprive the store of the property. Those arrested for Retail Theft may face a first degree misdemeanor for thefts over $100 but less than $300, while first time offenders who steal less than $100 face a second degree misdemeanor. Those who have two or more prior thefts may be charged with a Third Degree Felony and face five years in prison no matter the amount of the theft. This could result in your becoming a convicted felon and losing many civil rights.
