My question involves criminal law for the state of: Washington
I accidentally put a small clear bottle that belonged to the store Target. Someone called me and I guess I dropped the bottle in my bag while picking my phone up. As soon as I left the store I was seized by their security guards. They took me in and I waited in a room. They said I took over 80 dollars in stuff and took all the things in my bag that they sold. My SD card that was already opened, my camera bag, my pins, and of course the small plastic bottle. The thing is they never even told me what I took and they searched thru my mail that i had in my bag. Isn't that illegal (the letters were already opened however). I'm currently being fined $500 but i'm not being charged and i'm 17.
