[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The baby was left in the car seat on a street in SE but the car is still missing. Curious about where/with who? https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/4-month-old-girl-found-after-being-taken-in-georgetown-car-theft/3508529/ Thank goodness she is safe.[/quote] I hope these guys get charged with kidnapping and child abuse, and get put away for a long time. [/quote] Sounds like these guys are on the loose joyriding in the jeep? At our councilmembers safety walk the USAO representative told us they can't charge carjackers cos when four sets of prints are found they don't know who the jacker was.. COMPLETE IMPUNITY and zero solutions offered.[/quote] That really seems like laziness. If a link is found between all the suspects, clearly they all carjacked together. [/quote] Nope, not according to the communications guy from prosecution at the Council meet n' greet. We brought up carjackings (a friend of ours has been carjacked in DC), and according to the rep, "carjacking cases are very hard to prosecute because who is to say the person who is found with the car is the one who stole it?" So... they don't prosecute. Interpret that as you will. [/quote] What in the world is the logic of this? If a diamond necklace is stolen from someone and a person is found in possession of that necklace surely they can reasonably be charged with theft? Same with just about any other stolen goods. What is special about a car that we would think innocent people are just routinely driving stolen vehicles. And why not at least charge with possession of stolen goods. If they want that charge dropped they can give a name of who they believed gave them lawful possession of the car? If you’re found with a vehicle that is stolen and you are innocent, you should have a reasonable story as to how this happened. Hand over the name. [/quote] Nope. They're like oh the car passes through many hands, who knows who stole it, oh well! When stolen cars are recovered they don't even dust them for prints (firsthand experience when we recovered our own stolen, not jacked car).[/quote] Well no wonder people think this is a low risk crime to commit (as far as getting punished).[/quote]
