What Is Theft Of Transportation?
Auto theft needs to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. This means it must be shown that you not only controlled someone else’s vehicle but also meant to deprive them of it or keep it. The charge can also mean that you materially misrepresented a transaction or took a vehicle that was not intended for you and intended to keep it.
A car theft charge can also arise if you are found driving a car that was reported stolen. In this instance, the prosecution must prove that you knew the car was stolen. Depending on the circumstances, an auto theft conviction can mean probation to eight years and some months in prison. There are, fortunately, often options that minimize these long-term negative impacts.
