If I pay the court fine, will I have to go in to see the judge to clear the warrant?

Criminal Law lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
Depends of the circumstances, if the warrant was for failure to comply with the judgment, and it is complied with, many courts will lift the warrant without an additional appearance.

What are the punishments for a minor's petty theft crime?

Answered by attorney Stephen Lewis Freeborn (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Freeborn Law Offices P.S.
At 16, you can still be charged as an adult. Shop lift is punishable by up to a year in jail and a $5,000.00 fine. My advice: hire an attorney to help you.

If I am caught shoplifting for the first time, what can they do to me besides make me pay a fine?

Depending on the amount allegedly stolen and the jurisdiction where the event occurred, shoplifting can be met with a mere citation (infraction), or charged as a misdemeanor or even a felony, with possible jail sentences of 6 months to 3 years. It will be up to the D.A. to determine how the crime will be charged. I suggest that you hire an experienced criminal defense attorney to represent you and get you the best deal possible.
