Motor Vehicle Theft in Miami, Florida

Motor vehicle theft is a third degree felony offense in Florida, a crime punishable by up to 5 years in state prison and a fine of up to $5,000. If the vehicle is valued at more than $100,000, however, auto theft may be classified as first degree theft, punishable by up to 30 years of imprisonment and a fine of up to $10,000.

There may be physical evidence that links you to the vehicle in question, such as a fingerprint or DNA. There may even be video footage of the crime taking place, but the manner in which evidence is collected and processed can be closely scrutinized for any mistakes or issues that your lawyer can use to influence the outcome of your case. For example, if you were the victim of an unlawful search and seizure, any evidence obtained at this time may be suppressed so it is not used against you in court. In considering issues such as this, it is important that you work with an experienced attorney who also has the resources to handle your case.
