My question involves criminal law for the state of: Massachusetts
Almost three years ago, I was detained by Asset Protection at a major retail store because I had shoplifted a $40 item. I am very well aware that it was a stupid mistake and thankfully that experience was enough to deter me from any future criminal activity. Police were not called, my info was taken, and I was subsequently sent a civil demand notice in the mail which I did pay. I was also issued a no trespass notice for 2 years which I honored.
Today in the mail I received a form letter from the store saying that they were cooperating with our state Attorney General's Office regarding an "investigation" and that as a result of that investigation , they were required to release to the AG the identity and contact info for anyone who interacted with their Asset Protection staff anytime after 2012 across any of their Massachusetts stores. They were actually apologizing in the letter about having to release my info as they respect my right to privacy but they had to comply with the AG's request. My first thought was that they are coming back after me to file criminal charges, but i also suspect this may be an investigation into either their AP procedures or perhaps their civil demand practices. I was just wondering if any of the experts on this forum have seen anything like this before or have any thoughts on what this may be about?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
