Under the specific circumstances, a shopper can be detained by a store investigation of suspected shop-lifting and it cannot be termed as ‘false imprisonment’.
21. There are no Washington statutes providing for damage claims for the use of “spam” on the Internet: False
Washington has enacted the anti-spamming law that prevents the sender of the mail to send any third party domain’s name without seeking the appropriate permission. This statute is in fact an integral part of the Consumer Protection Act of the state.
22. Defamation lawsuits are never allowed to proceed, if the defamation occurred online: False
If the defamatory statement is libel, in that case the defamation lawsuits are allowed to proceed if the defamation occurred online but subject to the jurisdiction and location of the plaintiff and the one who is accused.
23. The Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination also provides a defendant protection from civil liability: True.
If the defendant is facing trial for criminal liability then he shall not be facing the trial for civil liability in case the set of circumstances remain the same. In that case, the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination also provides a defendant protection from civil liability. Further, the self-incrimination rules applies to the civil cases as well apart from that of the criminal ones but the level of protections are different.
