Legal Question in Criminal Law in Washington

Re: shoplifting

I gather from your e-mail when you say you didn't get anything in the mail that you mean, you never got a notice to appear in court. If that is correct then you do not have a conviction record, however, you do have an arrest record. This means that if someone asked you for a police record, and you went to the police station and got a copy of your records, it would show an arrest, but if you went to the courthouse, it would show nothing. When you receive nothing in the mail, it usually means the prosecutor chose not to prosecute. I would check to make sure that you somehow didn't miss something in the mail.

Re: shoplifting

Shoplifting is so easy for the prosecutor that I very much doubt they will not prosecute you. Make sure the address registered with the DOL in Washington is correct. You may wish to call the court to make sure you don't have a warrant. If you need further assistance contact me directly.
