Before I explain the story, I just want to note: WE DID NOT STEAL A THING.
My friend and I were at Walmart today in the make-up section and I noticed a man who was looking at us in the aisle next to ours. Clearly this was odd because most middle-aged men don't wear makeup... so as my friend and I are walking I notice this guy run and hide behind these two board game boxes and peeking through them to watch us, then he peeked his head out and made eye-contact with me. Then we turned a corner and AGAIN he's looking at us through the fitness section. Clearly he thought we were shoplifting.
I DID NOT have any intention on taking anything, nor did I attempt to. My friend however, put lipstick in her bag. The second I saw this man following us, I informed my friend to remove anything she may have put in her bag, she did, and we continued walking. As we were walking to go pay for my item, I saw him again follow us to the registers. [Nothing was stolen!]
As we were walking out, the man was standing at the exit with a woman, and watched us walk out. He didn't say a word to us or ask to check our bags, as we got in my car and proceeded to back out and drive off, I saw him in my rear-view mirror at the entrance to the store with a walky-talky in his hand.
BASICALLY, I have NO idea if this man took my plate #, I didn't do ANYTHING, and my friend put everything she had planned on taking back. They hadn't asked to search our bags, so I have no idea why he'd have followed us outside and he was clearly looking at my car cause he was at the end of the aisle my car was in.
Any idea what this man was doing? He had no right to take my plate # if that's what he did, I didn't do anything nor did he catch us doing anything or with anything on our person.
I'm pretty positive he was an employee, I've heard employees have to actually see you place items in your bag before they pull you over, so I'm assuming that's why he stalked us. (link)

If you didn't break any laws, you didn't break any laws. Simple as that. If he thinks you did, but he can't prove it, don't worry yourself at all.
Also, anyone has the right to take your license plate number if they think you're doing something suspicious so don't get worked up over that.
Again, if you didn't break any laws, you didn't break any laws. Don't worry. If your friend DID steal something, but you didn't know it, you're still going to be okay. If your friend DID steal something and you DO know about it. If the police ask you about it, do not lie. Any friend who puts you in a situation like that would not be a friend you'd want to have. Trust me.
