What does:
Theft Control Intent $300<10,000 mean?

 

It means they are a burgler and they stole property valued between $300 and LESS THAN $10,000.

 

Never heard of it but Manual sounds right.

 

Is that what you've been charged with?

 

And, it is a felony.

 

"A person commits theft when he knowingly obtains or exercises control over anything of value of another without authorization, or by threat or deception, and . . . [i]ntends to deprive the other person permanently of the use or benefit of the thing of value."

In Nebraska, it is referred to as "Theft by Control" but is also more commonly referred to as "Theft by Receiving Stolen Property". Most commonly used as a charge when it is not possible to prove that the person in possession of the property is the same person who stole it. This would pertain to, for instance, someone possessing a firearm that has been reported stolen. It can also be used in a case where, for instance, a bad guy jumps in a car, points a gun at the head of the driver, and forces them to go somewhere; thereby exercising control over the vehicle. In this instance, the bad guy would be charged with kidnapping the driver and theft by exercising control for taking the car.

Different states have different dollar levels for determining whether a property loss is a misdemeanor or a felony, but if I had to guess I would say that since it gives the "$300-$1000" window, it is a felony in the case being cited in the OP.

I dunno how good I am at interpreting laws... but I've impressed many attorneys, and I've got a degree in Computer Info Systems.

Attorneys for me are a complete waste of money. I'm my own attorney.

 

Go commit a murder, & try to get yourself off.......see how far you get without an attorney.........

 

First off... I wouldn't commit a murder. Secondly, if I did commit a murder, I'd be guilty as charged. You don't need no stinkin' attorney. I'd just face the facts of the law.

Now if I was being charged with a murder that I didn't do... I dunno what I'd do in that situation... probably hire one, but I'd be over him looking at all the facts before he even presented them.

 

Thank you OnBelay.

No, I wasn't arrested or charged with anything.

 

He took a fork from Apple Bee's

 

It wasn't the fork that started the problems. It was exercising control over all the other customers steaks and ribs that caused the problem.
