Hi
I have been charged with utag 2x. I went to Coles To get grocery and Paid by self checkout cost $200. My trolley is full as I shop earlier in different store. Then I went to big w to purchase big pillow and cookware. Again paid by self checkout cost $58. As soon as I go out from the big w the security guard stop me and said I didn’t paid for some items. When I see my full trolley I realise i put two socks and chocolates in the corner of my trolley and I didn’t see it. I was in hurry that day as I Have an appointment with my friend and can’t think straight all I have in my head is I Already late for the appointment I need to get out from this shop ASAP. Big w called police and they charged me utag 2x as when they check my grocery I forget to scan 2 items which is honest mistake. I have to be in magistrate court on December. When the police said They done with me and I can go then I tell big w staff that I’d pay for the items that they said “stolen”. So I paid on self checkout on my way out of the store. The items that I forget scan from big w is $35 and From Coles is $20. The police was so rude and aggressive that day until I even can’t remember 100% what I said to them in details. I have no criminal history before. I want to plead guilty as it was my mistake. One of friend told me I can plead guilty online. If I do this will it be the similar outcome like I go to the court? what is punishment if I plead guilty? Should I go to court and explain what happen that day?
The police Said you are guilty guilty guilty with loud voice. That’s the one of the thing I can remember. And they are not happy as I refused to answer some of his questions that day such as what you doing after this, do you work, what did you do this morning etc. big w and Coles are not banned me. Police said I still can go shopping in all store. Thank you for any advice.
