What is the name of your state? Washington State.
First off I apoligize if this is the incorrect folder for this post. Please move it if you feel the need to.
I live in an appartment complex and the past two nights cars in the parking lot have been broken into. While it is unlikeley that they will be back for a third night unless they're stupid, I would like to know what rights I have if I happen to catch them. What are the boundaries of keeping them detained? I have pepper spray, clubs, zip ties, air pistols, fists... If I catch them fiddling with my car or anybodies car for that matter, can I walk up to them and give them a good beating? Since I rent and do not own the land do I have the right to take them down for tresspassing?
My other concern is I saw them walking through the complex before this all happened (I know it was them from a whitness description) and they look to be 16-20 years old. If they happen to be minors and I put the hurt on them will this make more problems for me legally?
If I do get arrested for assault what can I expect to have to deal with? I realize this is a bad idea, but I believe I can handle it.
Thanks in advance!
