Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

I suggest that since you have been cherged with possession of stolen vehicles that you consult with a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. If you cannot afford one, consult with your piublic defender's office.

"What" has an "h" in it.

Your options? Depends upon ALL the facts and evidence.

When charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained in a test, search or statement be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do? If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, programs, or other decent outcome through motions, plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate.

The elements of a 10851(a) violation are:

1)That one either drives or takes a vehicle belonging to another

2) Without the consent of the owner

3) With the intent to either permanently or temporarily deprive the owner of the vehicle

4) Either with or without the intent to steal the vehicle

It can also be applied to anyone who conspires to commit the crime or who aids and abets in the committing of the crime or to any accessory to the crime.

If there is anything here you do not understand you should ask your lawyer.
