What is the law on pickpocketing in Louisiana?

Answer 1

Larceny is an intentional and unlawful taking of a person's property. If you are charged with petty larceny, up to 500 dollars in theft, your sentence may be less depending on if there are any other charges that are attached to your case. However, if you commit grand larceny, over 500 dollars in theft, you are likely going to be facing jail time.

Answer 2

Pickpocketing it considered theft in Texas. The offense is classified into 2 different main catagories. If it is done using force or not. In other words, if you catch the pocket-picker in the act and grab his arm, if he yanks his arm away with your wallet, then it turns into Robbery. Robbery is a HUGE difference when it comes to the penalty.

Pick-pocketing as theft, inrelation to charges, goes like this. It is broken down to monetary amounts (so the higher the value of your wallet and belongings, the longer they get to chill in jail).

.01 cent to 50$ -class C misdemeanor (fine)

50-500$ - Class B (fine + a small bit of jail time)

500-1500$ - Class A (Fine + up to 2 yrs jail)

1500-20,000$ - State Jail Felony (fine + 2 yrs jail)

20,000-100,000$ - 3rd degree felony (fine + 2-10yr)

100,000- 200,000$ - 2nd degree felony (fine + 2-20)

200,000$ and up -1st degree felony (fine + 5-99)

Answer 3

pickpocketing assuming you didn't find out until after it was done is in most cases considered larceny from the person. it holds a slightly larger penalty than larceny but less than robber because there was no fear or intimidation by your part at the time it was removed from your person.
