What is the Crime of Possessing an Anti-Shoplifting Device? 

Possession of an anti-shoplifting device is often linked to the crime of retail theft – commonly known as shoplifting, which is not a legal term. 

An anti-shoplifting or inventory control device is anything that is designed, made, or modified to remove or defeat any device that detects shoplifting. 

Retail theft is a crime that includes stealing merchandise, property, money, removing labels and product codes or price tags – or even taking a shopping cart – with the intent to deprive the merchant of the use, benefit or full retail value of the merchandise. 

Find the legal definition of theft on our theft page. As a Fort Lauderdale attorney can further explain, retail theft can be either a Petit Theft or Grand Theft crime – and sometimes the line is blurred between the two.

CONSEQUENCES OF POSSESSING AN ANTI-SHOPLIFTING DEVICE IN FORT LAUDERDALE

Possession of an anti-shoplifting device in South Florida is considered to be a very serious crime, making it vital to enlist the help of an experienced attorney in this situation. Possession of an anti-shoplifting device is an automatic felony which has its own severe consequences without the addition of another charge. 

Possession of an anti-shoplifting device is an automatic third-degree felony. A third-degree felony carries consequences of up to 5 years in prison and fines of up to $5,000 in Florida. 

If the attempted stolen property is used with an anti-shoplifting device and valued at more than $750, then the crime is a form of grand theft (felony). If the stolen property is used with an anti-shoplifting device and valued at less than $750, then the crime is a form of petit theft (misdemeanor).

    In one of the most stressful times in my life, Rossen Law Firm was there for me. Leaving no stone unturned they provided patience and knowledge in every detail of my case. I’m very thankful and proud of this law firm family and especially of my lawyer, Scott Simmons for guiding, defending and helping me in every way possible. He and this law firm family come highly recommended from personal experience!!!

    I had an unfortunate situation with a family member that lead to my arrest and being charged with DV Battery. This was the first time I had ever been arrested so I was very nervous and afraid of what was going to happen to me. After talking with Adam I decided to retain him and let me tell you this was the BEST decision I could have ever made. Adam made me feel so comfortable and confident that everything will turn out the best in my favor. He is professional, ethical and supportive. He was always available too answer any questions or concerns.Not to mention, his team at the office is awesome they are so friendly and welcoming. Anytime I had a question when I called the office they were able to guide me in the rightdirection. They always were in contact with me with any information or updates regarding my case. Adams team is GREAT!Adam delivered, my case was DISMISSED. So if you want an attorney the is gonna fight for you and get the job done retain the BEST there is Adam Rossen!!!

    Adam Rossen and the team at Rossen Law took great care in handling my case. They are very professional, and get the job done. I was particular relieved to see just how much empathy they showed with me, and how effortless it was to be their client.I literally visited them twice. My initial consultation, and then to pickup the final docs. I have nothing but great things to say about these folks, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks Guys.

    I had an amazing experience with The Rossen Law Firm. The staff were very professional. Attorney Susan Lawson went above and beyond working on my case. We were thoroughly prepared for trial. Mrs. Lawson reviewed hours of body and dash camera footage multiple times and aggressively performed depositions on witnesses and law enforcement.The final outcome for me was the state dropped my case, due to the great work Susan and the Rossen team performed. I didn’t even need to go to trial.This law firm does not play around. They pay attention to detail and they FIGHT FOR YOU!Thank you Adam, team, and a special thank you to Susan for your amazing work! I really appreciate you.

    My experience with Rossen Law Firm was excellent. From the consultation to the end.. My attorney Susan Lawson gave my son's case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. She was confident during all the court proceedings. My favorite part was when she said we are family, never once my son and I were treated other then that. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received through Rossen Law Firm.
