name taken by guards

adazers

So last night after a halloween party i was walking home with a few friends. We ended up splitting into two groups and somebody in the group ahead took a small (1 litre) bottle of milk that was outside centra. Guards pulled up and then took everybodies (all 9) name and details. The guard wrote the names down not a scrap of paper, not a notebook, and other people in the group said it was just to scare us, but i'm really stressing out about this, wondering if I'm going to get a criminal record over it? To make matters worse I was the only one that gave the real name and adress.

if you didnt rob the milk you have nothing to worry about and the centra probably has a camera which will show you did not take it. Its a good thing that you gave your real name and address as not doing so is a criminal offence.(which all your friends have now committed).Dont worry about it. Sounds like guards were just putting the wind up ye and even if they are serious you are in the clear.If they get on to you looking for your friends real names and addresses say that you will call into the station after you have talked to your solicitor.And then talk to your solicitor.

They didn't charge us, does that matter?

The process is: arrested, detained, accused, chaged, tried, found guilty and sentenced. None of those thigns happened, you do not have a criminal record.

The only take the name in case something happens in the furture - and probably to scare you.
