February 21, 201115 yr Need some help from the resident BGP law enforcement/legal teams. Someone I know, who has no prior record, was arrested for breaking into cars last night and was charged with 2 felony counts and a misdemeanor. What is the official charge for breaking into Cars, and what kind of sentencing could they be looking at if convicted (which is very likely)?

February 22, 201115 yr 25 years to life! It should be the former! But, more than likely he will see around a year, then assuming time off for good behavior then onto a minimum security facility for another 6 months, probation for about a year after that.

What is the official charge for breaking into Cars, and what kind of sentencing could they be looking at if convicted (which is very likely)? Depends on what they stole. In Kentucky it would be Theft by Unlawful taking, and if they damaged the car it could possibly be criminal mischief as well. How severe the charge is would depend on the amount stolen, and the damage done to the vehicle. But that is how it works in Kentucky. I'm not sure about Ohio. As for sentencing...it's hard to tell. Probably up to the judge. Or it's possible his attorney and the prosecutor will work out a deal before it goes to court.
February 22, 201115 yr If some low life broke into my car the only hope they would have is getting jail time because I would hunt them down myself.
February 22, 201115 yr In my opinion, your friend needs to worry less about his punishment, and more about the life choices that led to him breaking into people's cars. Whatever punishment he gets, he deserves (unless it's too light).
February 22, 201115 yr If some low life broke into my car the only hope they would have is getting jail time because I would hunt them down myself. I tend to agree! I don't care legaly what it is like but to me it's almost like breaking into someone's house, if you get caught well you better be able to run fast! Someone I knew had a friend who did the same thing, that's where I came up with the stuff I wrote above. He still hasn't learn anything, and chances are if they are breaking into cars then over all you cannot trust them, they will steal from you too if they get a chance.
February 22, 201115 yr Years ago I was working driving cars to Nashville to auction for a local car lot. My truck was parked in a parking lot next to the car lot. We got back to town around 3 in the morning after our third trip. There were 5-6 cars broken into between the car lot and the lot my truck was parked in, my truck being one of the ones broken into. It was the fact that they stole my radio as much as they cut my seat.

It's the step-sister of someone close to me.

February 22, 201115 yr Author Replace the "he's" with "she's" then in my post :lol:. What did she steal? Not sure yet. Still trying to figure that out. I just didn't want people to get the idea that I associate with losers. :lol:

I just didn't want people to get the idea that I associate with losers. :lol: Well, wouldn't you rather be the "savior" or normal one of the group than the "loser"? EVERYONE knows people like that so it's no big deal, it's not like you know someone who has a history of killing.
February 22, 201115 yr Replace the "he's" with "she's" then in my post :lol:. What did she steal? Im surprised you didn't ask what she looked like, lol.
