Suggestion Title: Law 11.12 - Auto Burglary
Suggestion Description: Add a new law called Auto Burglary.
11.12 Auto Burglary
Any person who enters a vehicle when the doors are locked.
Felony - liable to 5 years maximum imprisonment, $5,000 maximum fine and asset forfeiture.
Right now you can only charge them with Theft which is true but 3 years for stealing a car, for which you have to break someone's property pretty significantly is absolute madness. Most cars that get stolen are also the cars that are worth over a million dollars so it would make much more sense if it had its own law.
I know this sort of suggestion has been denied in the past quite a bit but car theft is and always has been a felony, not a misdemeanor.
I was told when I returned that stealing a car is considered 11.11 and I know that many other officers also believe this. In most countries a car is considered property but in Paralake terminology it is not (I only learnt this today) which makes zero sense.
Either rephrase the burglary laws to 'building' instead of 'property' like it is in real life or add this law. It makes no sense property doesn't include vehicles.
Why should this be added?:
- A law to charge people that steal cars.
- 3 years max for stealing a potentially 1 million dollar+ vehicle is insane
- Less confusion
What negatives could this have?:
- Another law
What problem would this suggestion solve?: People using 11.11 to charge criminals for car theft.
