My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Washington
I was at a store and was purchasing an item with a few friends, when one of them decided to steal something minor. Me and the other guy that didn't want to be part of this just went to the cashier and purchased our items legitematley. However, on our way out of the store we were stopped and told to go into the back room where we were accused of shoplifting. The one guy that they caught immediately gave up his items, but the other guy had ran away(although he returned later to return the items). We were told that because we did not call security immediately, we were accomplices to the crime. Soon after our parents were called and we were banned from the mall the store was located in. For all the definitions i have found, we were not accomplices to his crime. Were we though? And if we were not did we do anything illegal in that situation?
Thanks
