Carjacking Attorney in Miami
What Is Carjacking?
Carjacking is a violent crime that relates to taking another person's vehicle by threat or force.
To commit carjacking, the offender would use threats of injury or violence, or the use of physical force to unlawfully gain control or ownership of another's motor vehicle. Although a form of theft, carjacking is considered a violent crime due to the means in which it is carried out.
What Are The Penalties For Carjacking In Florida?
Carjacking is a form of robbery that involves taking another person's motor vehicle by force or threats. Assault or violence may be involved, putting the victim in fear for his or her safety.
Under Florida law, a person who commits a carjacking may face first degree felony or second degree charges, punishable by up to life imprisonment or by up to 15 or 30 years in state prison.
Whether the defendant was in possession of or used a firearm, deadly weapon, or weapon of any kind will influence the potential charges and penalties that he or she faces. In some cases, kidnapping may also be associated with carjacking, such as in a case where the offender takes a car and the owner is still inside.
