Q: Is removal of a security device and attempted shoplifting “tampering with physical evidence”? I was just charged with “petty theft” and a felony charge of “tampering with physical evidence”. They claim is was because of the removal of security devices on the products themselves. Do these charges often go hand in hand? I have no criminal record (other than driving offenses) and made no attempt to flee or resist arrest.

Its gonna be an interesting legal argument. It is possible that
removing / attempting to remove a security tag does not constitute “tampering with physical evidence” as the tag was never evidence in an investigation until AFTER it was removed. That said it might be “criminal mischief” if the tag was damaged in some way.I hope this has been helpful and wish you good luck!
