…What If I Didn’t Intend to Keep the Car?

Intent is a key element of the crime of grand theft auto. If the prosecution cannot prove you intended to deprive the owner of the vehicle, you cannot be convicted of grand theft auto. However, you can be convicted of joyriding. If you are a first time offender, joyriding will most likely be charged with a misdemeanor, exposing you to lesser penalties. Even if you are charged with felony joyriding, a conviction for this offense is not viewed as prejudicially as a grand theft auto conviction. As your grand theft auto attorney in Santa Ana CA, Dan E. Chambers will carefully analyze the prosecution’s evidence regarding your intent at the time of the alleged crime to see if you can benefit from the reduced charge of joyriding.
