Los Angeles Grand Theft Auto Information

Grand Theft Auto can be charged under two different laws:
  1. If Grand Theft Auto is charged under California Penal Code Section 487(d), it is always charged as a felony. As a felony, the sentencing range will be 16 months, 2 years or 3 years in a state prison. Besides jail, a conviction may also require parole of 3 years or formal probation.
  2. If, however, the Grand Theft Auto is charged under California Vehicle Code Section 10851 (Vehicle Theft) and there are no prior convictions, it can be charged as a misdemeanor with less of a penalty. Misdemeanor sentencing is up to a year in county jail and may involve 3 years of informal probation along with restitution, fines and community service.

GTA Probable Cause

In order to be arrested for Grand Theft Auto, the police only need to have "probable cause" to believe you committed the crime. (Probable cause exists when facts or circumstances would lead a reasonable person to suspect that a crime has been, is being, or will be committed.)

    I was arrested a week ago for Grand theft auto. The car I had borrowed from a friend of mines Grandfather , he (the grandfather) gave me the keys and told me I could use it for a few days to get to work and do some moving. A day later the cops showed up at my mothers house where I told the man I was taking my belongings, the officer arrested me but stated the grandfather said in his statement he loaned me the car, but yet he wanted the car reported missing is this legal can anything be done, I can not afford this felony on my record it has stopped me from finishing college or joining the military.

    My name is on the title and registration of my truck as well as my mothers. I went to pick up the truck yesterday with my spare key and was assaulted by method of battery by her husband. I was told I can file battery charges against him. Can I be charged with grand theft auto on my own vehichle? The cop told me that there is a chance the D.A can try to prosecute me for trying to take my own vehichle. That sounds absurd. Please help.

    My Fiance was pulled over and arrested, because the vehicle was reported stolen in August 2008 but we just bought the car from a friend. We have the keys and everything to the car. We only had it for a few days in between that time we got new tires and my fiance constantly worked on it. So now their putting the theft, and buying stolen property over the price of 200. This is so wrong. When we need the police they are never there, but then they put false charges on him. What can i
    do to prove his innocence? we have the keys and the address where the friend lives.

    The prosecutor has to prove that you had actual knowledge that the car you were in was stolen. Ways they can do this include if the car had a broken window or lock, a peeled steering column, or if you are unable to produce the keys. If none of these things are present, you may have a good defense to this charge, assuming you made no admissions to the police.

    I was driving a car loaned to me by a friend. When I got pulled over, the police officer told me the car was stolen and arrested me. I did not know it was stolen. What should I do?
