NH Theft Laws. Merry Christmas everybody! The holidays are a busy time of year for almost every body. Sometimes the bad economy, stress, forgetfulness, attention deficit issues, and other factors can cause people to take things out of a store without paying for them. If you get charged with theft, shoplifitng, willful concealment, or any other type of stealing related charge or charges, your next steps are important ones.
First:Know what to do if you get busted. I suggest that you store my cell number in your phone right now: 1-603-785-6458. Save it under "Attorney Mark Stevens" so you can find it easy when you need it most.
Second:Have cash bail money with you in case you need it to get out. Also have a ride lined up to pick you up from the police station.
Third: Dont answer the loss prevention people's questions. Refuse any efforts they may make to photograph you or videotape you with a pile of stolen stuff. If they tell you that if you answer their questions and sign a statement that they wont call the cops they are probably lying to you. Don't buy what they're selling, they are out to get you!
Fourth: The cops are coming. Go along peacefully with them, but don't get chatty with them. Dont make or sign any statements about the event to the cops. You will need to give them basic booking information to get released but don't talk about anything that happened in the store.
Fifth: Call your lawyer immediately. 1-603-785-6458 24/7 if you get busted.
I hope that you have a Merry and pepper-spray free Christmas! But dont hesitate to call me if you dont!
If the cops want to talk to you it's not to help you; it is to incriminate you! Be quiet. Watch this video for pointers:
This coming holiday weekend seems to result in a lot of shoplifting arrests, willful concealment, and other theft charges all across New Hampshire. However the number of shoplifting arrests in Rockingham County, Strafford County, and Hillsborough County are significantly higher than others on Black Friday.
Each year Black Friday gets bigger than the year before with stores trying to outdo one another, offering the biggest and the best, cheaper than their competitors. No matter how popular Black Friday increasingly becomes, or how much Cyber Monday tries to steal its spotlight offering those less inclined to pepper spray their way to the biggest TV an online version the following Monday. Does it really matter who stampedes their way to the front of the line for the biggest, best, cheapest? Not if you've just been arrested for shoplifting or accused of "willful concealment" in New Hampshire. The shoplifting laws in New Hampshire are tough. If you are accused of any type of theft or shoplifting offense it is extremely important you do not say anything, or let them bully you into saying anything. If you are brought into a loss prevention or store security office it is important you do not feel pressured to sign anything. They will most likely try to get you to make any type of admission they can. DO NOT let store security take your picture, they are not the police and cannot make you do anything. You do not even need to give store security, mall security, or loss protection your identification!!!
If you are suspected of shoplifting, either store/mall security or the loss preventions department will call the police. When the cops arrive make sure you are respectful and do not resist arrest OR admit to anything either! Be polite, do not make any statements, and make sure you have some bail money with you.

New Hampshire Shoplifting Lawyer. In March of 2009 Cecilia Cathleen Rodriguez pleaded guilty to stealing two purses from a Dillard's store in Oklahoma. On her guilty plea an Oklahoma district court judge sentenced her to life in prison. The judge added an extra 17 years to the life sentence for a probation violation on another, 9 year old, petty theft case. So the total sentence she got for stealing the two purses was life plus 17 years.
She appealed her sentence in the state appellate court system, and a sharply divided Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the extraordinary sentence. One of the two judges who dissented described her sentence as "shockingly excessive". The other described Ms. Gonzalez as a "drug addict who steals to feed her addiction..."While she is a nuisance and a lawbreaker she is neither a violent criminal nor an imminent danger to society." The dissenting appeals court judge described her life sentence as " ...a miscarriage of justice."
On March 21, 2012, the Supreme Court issued its landmark opinion in Missouri v. Frye, (Supreme Court case number 10-444), which held that a defendant in a criminal case is entitled to the effective assistance of counsel during plea negotiation, including plea offers extended by the prosecution. So if defense counsel's deficient performance led to the rejection of a plea offer, and the defendant can show there would have been a reasonable probability that she would have accepted the plea offer but for counsel's deficient performance, there would lie a sufficient showing of prejudice to vacate the sentence imposed.
In the Oklahoma life sentence plus 17 years for stealing two purses case, the Supreme Court vacated Ms. Rodriguez's life sentence for shoplifting and remanded the case to the Oklahoma courts for re sentencing.
