"A person may bring a civil action for damages against any person who knowingly causes...."
Where the WA Karen Law goes wrong is in that phrase "a person may file" which ends up meaning a person needs to spend time and likely "treasure" to navigate the courts.
Since this law is also so new, legal firms don't know how to navigate this process yet.
This basically means in WA a victim of a Karen needs to be a legal pioneer to use this law presently

Meanwhile if you go and read WA's domestic violence laws there's a TON of smart wise instructions to police on how to inform DV victims of their rights. In my humble opinion the cops and local city attorneys should have an equally clear mandate to acknowledge when a person alleges that false calls amounting to Karen Law violations are occuring and get direct support accessing the legal system in EXACTLY the same ways laid out here. https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=10.99.030 #PNW #KarenLaw #Seattle
