What will happen if I received a letter that I have been charged with theft misdemeanor under $500?

Answered by attorney Laurie A. Schmidt
Criminal Law lawyer at 5280 Law Group
The letter you received sounds like a Summons. This means you must appear at the courthouse, on the date, and time indicated. Failure to do so, could result in a warrant for your arrest. You have a right to have any attorney present with you. As for the charge, if the value taken is alleged to be between 500 and 1000, it's misdemeanor allegation. You should consult a lawyer about the case and any potential defense that you may have.

If someone is handcuffed do they need to be read their Miranda Rights?

Answered by attorney Ardalon Fakhimi
Criminal Law lawyer at California Criminal Defense Center
Miranda rights only need to be read prior to a custodial interrogation. An arrest, by itself, is not enough to require the reading of Miranda rights. If a person is arrested, he must be read his Miranda rights prior to any questioning by law enforcement. If a police officer arrests the person without asking him any questions after the arrest, then Miranda rights are not necessary. Also, if a person is questioned prior to being arrested, Miranda rights are not necessary. Typically, the most important issue is determining at what point the person was actually arrested. For legal purposes, a person may be deemed under arrest even though he is not told he has been arrested. In such a case, law enforcement must read Miranda rights prior to asking the arrested person any questions.

Do I just wait for a ticket if I was caught underage drinking but the cop let me walk home?

Answered by attorney Steven M Dodge (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Office of Steven M. Dodge, PLLC
If he took down your information, you are likely to receive a notice to appear for an arraignment in district court. It is difficult to say how long this might take because each police agency and prosecuting attorney's office processes these files at different speeds. If you could identify the jurisdiction, I could provide a more detailed response.
