shoplifting (i was unable to produce a receipt or proof of purchase for items i had in my handbag which i said had been brought into the store) The value was under $100 and police confiscated items.
Having any criminal record could result in me losing my job so im wondering if i should have just said yes, i took the items and taken the criminal infringemwnt notice + paid a fine (and/or if its possible for a CIN to still be issued within a certain timeframe/ after the fact as i dont want to risk losing my job or having this on my record).
