The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures, including raids on your home by law enforcement. This amendment requires authorities to obtain a search warrant based on probable cause before conducting a search of your property. If your home is being raided without a warrant or probable cause, you can assert your Fourth Amendment rights.
Not enough information to answer the question. MY GUESS would be that law enforcement can PROVE that you DID once have the stolen property in your possession.
I think the questioner may be confused in asking their question. Stolen property is "Fruits of the Crime." A"Motion to Suppress" is a legal motion made to a judge to have something prevented from being introduced at trial. There COULD be a motion made to suppress the introduction of stolen property. (???)
About the same as for the person who initially stole the property. Since you are selling known stolen property, one could face the same charges or more. See: http://pelleylawgroup.com/practice-areas/property-crimes/possession-of-stolen-property/
No, although it would be a "stretch" for authorities they might be able to charge the passenger as an accessory to a crime if the person knew about the theft and the stolen property being transported in the vehicle they were riding in. Receiving stolen property means the person accepting the items was aware of the fact that those items were not the lawful property of the presenter and were obtained during the commission of a crime.
Receiving stolen property is not the same as larceny, although both involve stolen goods. Larceny refers specifically to the act of unlawfully taking someone else's property with the intent to permanently deprive the owner of it. In contrast, receiving stolen property involves possessing items that one knows or should know are stolen, without necessarily being involved in their theft. Both offenses are criminal, but they are distinct in their legal definitions and implications.
What card? Was it stolen? If it was stolen and you had it in your possession, and you knew it was someone else's and not yours - whether you used it or not you are guilty of being in "possession of stolen property."
You should return the company property immediately. If you have been terminated, there is not need for you to have the property any longer.
The "original thief." Well, there is a concept in common law that prevents a harmless middle man engaged in a business from being liable if he/she acquires property in good faith and without knowledge of it's theft. Since you obsviously know the item is stolen, you probably shouldn't be asking questions such as this online. However, in most states, if you take property that is stolen and help the thief in selling the item, you are an accessory. You can be held accountable for this.
If it can be proven that you knew the items you pawned were stolen property you could be charged with Receiving Stolen Property (i.e.: being a 'fence'). If you pawned items that weren't yours, you MUST have known there was something fishy about it.
If you receive stolen property unknowingly, you may still face legal consequences, especially with prior convictions for similar offenses. Courts often consider prior records when determining penalties, and being unaware of the property's status may not absolve you of responsibility. It's essential to consult with a legal professional to explore your options and potential defenses. Additionally, demonstrating a lack of knowledge and intent can be crucial in mitigating the consequences.
A receiver of stolen goods is commonly referred to as a "fence." This individual knowingly buys, sells, or distributes stolen property, often to conceal the origin of the goods and profit from the illicit activity. Being a fence is a criminal offense, as it involves complicity in theft and trafficking in stolen items.
