Carjacking consists of taking a motor vehicle through the use of force or fear from an owner or passenger's immediate presence with the intent to deprive them of the vehicle. Carjacking is different from grand theft auto in that the vehicle being stolen must be in the immediate possession or presence of an owner.
For example, if someone is filling their car up with gas and you threatened to hurt them if they did not give you the car, you can be charged with carjacking. An Orange County criminal defense lawyer can provide you or a loved one with committed legal representation for a carjacking charge.
California places heavy fines and possible prison sentences up to nine years for those convicted of carjacking.
