The same kind of justification that would prompt an arrest by a law enforcement officer. HOWEVER - check you local state's laws carefully. The laws for citizen's arrests vary GREATLY from state-to-state.

If you have been accused of theft in Washington State, a variety of things will be considered when your case is reviewed by a lawyer or the courts, particularly the value of what you may have stolen. The type of punishment you are given by the court, if you are convicted of theft, also will depend on how serious the theft is. Ultimately, the value of the stolen item or service determines the consequence for theft. As is the case in many states, theft in Washington State is separated into three different categories, called degrees. Each degree is determined by the value of the stolen item or service: * Third-degree theft. The item or service is worth less than $250. * Second-degree theft. The item or service is worth more than $250 but less than $1,500. * First-degree theft. The item or service is worth more than $1,500. Each degree has an associated maximimum sentence and/or fine. Each degree of theft is also considered a particular type of crime, such as a misdemeanor or a felony, by the courts. The maximum sentence for each degree of theft depends on the type of crime. * Third-degree theft. This is considered a gross misdemeanor (minor crime). If convicted of a gross misdemeanor, you can be given a maximum sentence of 365 days in jail and/or a $5,000 fine (subject to change). * Second-degree theft. This is considered a Class C felony (serious crime). If convicted of a Class C felony, you can be given a maximum sentence of 5 years in jail and/or a $10,000 fine (subject to change). * First-degree theft. This is considered a Class B felony. If convicted of a Class B felony, you can be given a maximum sentence of 10 years in jail and/or a $20,000 fine (subject to change). Keep in mind that these are the maximum sentences. If you are accused of any of these crimes but have little or no criminal history, it's unlikely that you will receive the maximum sentence. It's also important to know that different laws apply for theft of motor vehicles, livestock, and firearms. In addition, crimes considered robbery, possession of stolen property, and/or extortion (getting money or valuable goods by abusing your position of authority, or through intimidation) are charged under different laws. If you are accused of theft in Washington State, it's advisable to contact an attorney in order to understand your options. Resolutions vary widely and include, but are not limited to, the following: * Pleading guilty or not guilty. * Being found guilty or not guilty if your case goes to trial. * Asking the victim of the theft for a Compromise of Misdemeanor (after you have adequately compensated the owner for the item). * Asking for a deferral (in which case a guilty plea could be withdrawn if you meet certain conditions set by the court). * Making an agreement (Stipulated Order of Continuance) with the prosecutor. The last three options are often reserved for people with little or no criminal history.

no actually they named it after a british explorer that had the last name Washington but it wasnt George Washington the named Washington dc after George Washington *

**The origin of Washington State name is indeed that is was named after our first president :George Washington. He is on the flag of our state and if one did a small amount of research you would see that this is true.

To request the expungement of an offense from your STATE (not Federal) criminal record: You must have either been exonerated, acquited, or served the complete term of your sentence - then file a petition/motion with the court setting forth valid reason(s) why your request should be granted. A judge will review your petition and the circumstances of your case and issue a ruling either granting or denying the request. AN EXPUNGEMENT IS NOT A PARDON! Expungement only removes the record of your offense from being available to the public. Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies will always have access to your actual 'true' record. FELONS CONVICTED IN STATE COURT OF STATE CRIMES: If your request for expungement is granted and you are a resident of a state which completely or partially restores your "rights" (you will have to do your own esearch to learn if this applies to your state), you will still remain subject to any restrictions that your state laws place on you (e.g.- voting rights - elective office - firearms/ammunition possession - etc). FEDERALLY CONVICTED FELONS - CAUTION: Regardless of what rights your state may restore, if you were convicted in FEDERAL COURT of a FEDERAL FELONY - it is a felony crime for a federally convicted felon to EVER own or possess a firearm. The U.S. Criminal Code, makes the penalty for illegal possession of a firearm a mandatory minimum of fifteen (15) years in prison in some cases (Title 18 U.S.C. sec 924(e)(1). At this time FEDERALLY convicted felons have no solution to their firearm disqualification. Congress has effectively eliminated the review of federally convicted felons' petitions for restoration of their firearms privileges, by denying funding for the purpose.

A letter of testamentary is a court document that identifies the executor of an estate.

One of the greatest incidents was during the year that the Declaration of Independence was announced. That summer and fall, the Continental Army had been pushed by the British through New York and New Jersey with defeat after defeat and into Pennsylvania. The troops were dejected and in terrible shape and were going to disban at the end of the year. Things looked hopeless but Washington was able to hold the army together and promise better days ahead and was able to deliver on that promise starting with a successful sneak attack of British forces at Trenton, New Jersey commencing on Christmas night 1776 which was the turning point of the revolution.

If you plead guilty and its your first offense than it is a $350.00 fine , a class on petty theft and one day of community service. In addition to a $50.00 a month fee paid to the corrections for case management. You pay that fee until you complete the other items

Of course this is always dependant upon your judge and your attorney. I used a court appointed attorney and the judge was having a fairly decent day. Hope that this helps.

Washington has no 'duty to retreat', as precedent was set in State v. Studd (1999) and State v. Reynaldo Redmond (2003) when the court found: "that there is no duty to retreat when a person is assaulted in a place where he or she has a right to be." But, the law is ambiguous. WA does not have an explicit 'Castle Doctrine', but like many of the other laws pertaining to gun ownership, they are based on rights of the gun owner and revolve around what the state expects is common sense and best judgment of the user. When you apply for a CPL (Concealed Pistol License), you will see some language that states WA is a 'stand your ground' state; again this is ambiguous.

There is no specific language in the law to state if burglary in your owe affords you the right to use deadly force, but the ambiguity of the law affords you some leeway.

However, read the law regarding justifiable homicide in Washington State. There is little doubt that slaying a person committing a felony by illegally entering your home with the apparent intent to commit even more felonies is perfectly justifiable in the eyes of the law.

To wit:

= Homicide --- By other person --- When justifiable. =

Homicide is also justifiable when committed either:

(1) In the lawful defense of the slayer, or his or her husband, wife, parent, child, brother, or sister, or of any other person in his presence or company, when there is reasonable ground to apprehend a design on the part of the person slain to commit a felony or to do some great personal injury to the slayer or to any such person, and there is imminent danger of such design being accomplished; or

(2) In the actual resistance of an attempt to commit a felony upon the slayer, in his presence, or upon or in a dwelling, or other place of abode, in which he is.

No. Retiring means you would not be unemployed through no fault of your own and, if retired, you would be presumed to not be seeking full time employment, one of the requirements for receiving the benefits.

In non-judicial states such as Washington an action to quiet title can be used to challenge lenders or trustees who no longer own an interest in a borrowers property. It is an extremely complex legal action and is costly to pursue. You need to consult with an attorney who specializes in that type of lawsuit. The attorney needs to perform preliminary research to determine whether or not you have a legitimate cause of action. If so, further research in public records, and possibly non-public records, must be performed to document your case.

Of course there is! But, it depends on the crime committed; see

The law gets tricky, bear with this:

16 is the legal age of consent in Washington State.

However, This DOES NOT mean that a 16 year old girl can sleep with a 21 year old boy. In the state of Washington, though everything you read appears that 16 is the age, it fails to let you know that if the other person is is 48 months older it is RAPE OF A CHILD. So if you are 16 you are legally mature enough to have all the sex you want as long as your partner is 16-20 years of age or 17-21. Once you turn 18 you can go back to having sex with the person who you legally once had sex with if his age changes. In addition, at 14 you can get an abortion without your parents consent. You can get pregnant and tattoo'ed. But once your boyfriend reaches 21, you better have reached 18. I know this first hand.

"Washington" was named after President George Washington, who selected the location of the city along the Potomac River.

"D.C." stands for the District of Columbia. "Columbia" was a poetic name for the United States used in the 19th century.
