What is the punishment for larceny in different states?
All states have LARCENY as an offense on their statute books. There are two types of LARCENY - - PETIT (pronounced 'petty') and GRAND. Petit Larceny is a misdemeanor (punishable by jail for up to one year), and GRAND which is a felony (punishable by prison for a term exceeding one year). The dollar value of the stolen merchandise is the guiding factor between the misdemeanor charge and the felony charge, but this value can (and does) differ from state-to-state. You would have to check your own state's law to determine the amount.

What is a Grand Larceny Lawyer?
A grand larceny lawyer deals specifically in law relating to grand larceny, which is a form of theft. A grand larceny lawyer may focus either on representing defendants or plaintiffs. In many cases, they will focus on a more broad branch of law, typically in relation to theft or felonies in general, with grand larceny cases being a specialty. Under law, there are various different types of theft, with grand larceny being only one type. Whether or not an individual is charged or found guilty of grand larceny as opposed to other forms of theft will depend on the type of property as well as the intent of the defendant. Generally speaking, grand larceny is defined as a type of theft that exceeds a specific monetary value. The value that separates grand larceny from larceny depends upon the jurisdiction. The theft can apply to many different types of property, including property such as jewelry, electronics, or straightforward cash. If more than one object is stolen, the value of all of the property together is the figure that will typically be used, rather than the value of each individual item. In other words, even if all of the individual pieces of property are relatively inexpensive, an individual can still be accused of grand larceny if the total value of all of the property added together exceeds the limit for grand larceny. A good example of this would be the theft of a CD case. While each individual CD may not be worth very much, when added together it is certainly possible that the total value of all of the CDs could be enough for the theft to constitute grand larceny. The value that is used in order to determine whether or not a theft should be considered grand larceny will depend on the state in which the offense was committed. Not all states separate larceny in this way, but those that do typically separate it into grand larceny and petty larceny, with petty larceny being the theft of property with a lower value. As an example, a state may set a five hundred dollars to be the limit. If property is stolen that is worth more than five hundred dollars, it would be considered grand larceny. If the value were less than five hundred, it would be considered petty larceny. Typically, grand larceny is considered a felony, while petty larceny is considered a misdemeanor. The legal punishment and employment repercussions of a felony are much worse.
What defines a felony vs misdemeanor for burglary in Minnesota?
In Minnesota, burglary is considered a misdemeanor only when one: "enters a building without consent and with intent to commit a misdemeanor other than to steal, or enters a building without consent and commits a misdemeanor other than to steal while in the building, either directly or as an accomplice" All other burglaries are felonies.
What might states authorize probable cause arrests for certain un witnessed misdemeanors?
As a general rule misdemeanor crimes must be witnessed by, or occur "in the presence" of the arresting officer. However many(all?) states have exceptions to this general rule that allow the police to arrest for probable cause for certain stated misdemeanor crimes the same as felonies. [As an example; the District of Columbia allows the local police to arrest for eight misdemeanor offenses (known as "probable cause misdemeanors) - they are: Simple Assault - Petit Larceny - Unlawful Entry - Receiving Stolen Property - Attempt Larceny - Attempt Burglary and - Attempt Stolen Auto.] I would imagine that other jurisdictions may have slightly different eligible misdemeanors, but they are probably similar in nature to the above examples.

Bike theft comes in under which Indian panel code?
You mean penal- look at the resemblance to the word Penalty- in other words, criminal law defining crimes- and penalties. Theft of a bicycle is obviously larceny, a property crime- as all modern bicycles are worth well over $20 ( the time honored dividing line between petty and grand larceny) - it would be grand larceny. if the bike with equipped with a cellphone or some form of ham radio- well that value would be added-on.
When may a police officer arrest someone for a misdemeanor?
To make a summary arrest for a misdemeanor offense, GENERALLY, the officer must actually observe it take place (i.e.: it occurs within range of his senses). HOWEVER: Many(all?) jurisdictions list exceptions to this which involve more serious offenses, and which are known as "Probable Cause Misdemeanors," and an officer may make an arrest even though he may not have actually observed the crime. One jurisdiction's list (Washington DC) is typical: "Simple Assault - Petit Larceny - Unlawful Entry - Receiving Stolen Property - Attempted Burglary - Attempted Larceny - Attempted Auto Theft." The foregoing seven offenses are all codified as Misdemeanors, however they are the listed exception to the misdemeanor arrest rule, and an officer need not have observed them take place in order to make a summary arrest. CAUTION: Other jurisdictions exceptions MAY be different.
