Falsely Accused of Shoplifting in Florida? Speak with a Florida Shoplifting Lawyer About your Rights.

Have you ever walked into a store just to leave in handcuffs even though you did nothing wrong? It happens a lot more than you think. And if it happened to you in Florida, you may have a legal case for false imprisonment or wrongful detention. You need to speak with a Florida shoplifting lawyer now.

What Does “False Imprisonment” Mean?

False imprisonment isn’t just about being arrested — it includes any situation where you’re held against your will without legal justification. That could be a store employee stopping you to check your receipt, store security blocking the exit, locking you in a room, or detaining you while they “investigate.” Even a few minutes of wrongful detention can be traumatizing, and you might be entitled to compensation.

Why You Need a Florida Shoplifting Lawyer

Stores often assume they’re protected under Florida’s shopkeeper’s privilege laws, but those protections only apply if there’s reasonable suspicion and if you were detained in a reasonable manner. If you were stopped without clear cause or in an unreasonable manner, that protection may not apply.

A shoplifting lawyer can help determine if:

The store had no valid reason to stop you.
The police were not called immediately
You were detained too long.
The stop involved racial profiling
You were publicly humiliation.

What to Do After a False Accusation

Stay calm and don’t resist.
Ask if you’re free to leave.
Get names of employees or witnesses.
Write down everything while it’s fresh.
