In Michigan, retail fraud is the official term for theft through shoplifting. Any type of theft, no matter how small, is a charge you should take seriously. These are considered crimes of “moral turpitude,” which is another phrase for dishonesty.
A conviction of a theft crime will become part of your criminal record which can have repercussions long into the future. Such a conviction can prevent you from getting a job, procuring loans, renting an apartment, and even affect your ability to get accepted into colleges and universities.
