Is larceny from person a violent crime in nc?

The thing about NC is they don't deal with any crime lightly. (you may have heard this before, but in NC they throw the book on anyone.) What ever your looking at, as far as larceny goes, will be a big deal. You will be in the news paper regardless of if it was a misdemeanor or felony. As far as what I have learned from your question, well it depends on the offense. Above $500.00 is a felony, automatic. Your looking at at least a 2 year prison sentence if that is the case, sorry to tell you, however if it a misdemeanor first offense, then a butt-load of community service and a offer to expunge your record after it is done (the thing is they tell you this, straight-faced, from the Judge, but I did all my things and it still shows up on background checks.). I tell you now it will never be expunged as long as you live in NC. If you move to a different state after conviction they will probably show you a tiny bit more sympathy if you showed that you will move up in the world. Get a lawyer as soon as you can, is the best advice I can give you.

Are bokken legal to carry around in the public NSW?

I would say no, however, it is not specifically identified under any Federal Statute. It could be classified as any blunt weapon that could cause great bodily harm, which could also classify it as a deadly weapon.
I would also say that it depends on the manner it is carried. If you are between home and dojo or training arena, I would say the chance of you being stopped and questioned is lower than if you were just walking around publicly with it.

Be prepared to be questioned, either way.

What can be done to reduce crime in Richmond CA?

Before I answer that Question, We have to understand the reason for Crime because unless we understand the reason for that, we can not solve the problem efficiently. Crime happenes due to many reasons; land, women, neighborhood instability and money are biggest. * I think, in today's economy it is "money". Population is growing, jobs are not. * Drugs, unemloyement, population they all are related with lack of money. So now: the things we can do to improve this situation is: * After school productive activities, something that is interesting for kids, uses their interest, and also gives them a hope of life and career. After school sports club are a good way to divert the energy of teen and preteen generation. It can be indoor or out door helped by city or school. * Educating parents is another way of helping kids. Teach parents the value of education. Encourage them to send (force) kids to school. Make school attendance a must. Instead of punishing the students make them do community work like cleaning the streets and community property etc. * Encourge residences to give up fire arms with the motive of prizes or something. * Be more vigilant regarding drugs and get it before it reaches kids. * Teachers need to be stricter in educating about drugs and sex in school. * Clean environment means clean minds, behavior and happiness. The clue to our problem is in Education, Diversion(from crime) and Unity (EDU). Thankyou for letting me give you my two cents.

I think that would be rather difficult for you to search your car while in handcuffs. Now, can the police search your car while you are handcuffed? Sure if they have your permission or if they have a search warrant.

Is this amended charge in 1990 still considered a felony altering auto plates?

What kind of "plates" are you referring to? If you're referring to VIN plates (vehicle serial number) that is still a felony (federal). I can't imagine that altering vehicle license tags was ever a felony anywhere unless it occurred as part and parcel of a greater planned felony offense.

What crimes are punishable by probation?

After being found guilty of the crime for which they were arrested, probation is customarily offered only to first-time-offenders who have committed minor criminal offenses usually involving minor crimes against property (e.g.: petit theft - shoplifting, etc). Probation is usually not offered in crimes against persons, especially not violent crimes.

The law doesn't provide for probation, and there is no guarantee that an offender will be offered probation, it is offered at the discretion of the judge presiding in the case, They may (or may not) review your past record (or lack of one) and decide to grant you a this lenient sentence.

The judge is not required to sentence you to probation and, by law, you are not 'entitled' to it.

Higher courts will only review the case for "Points of error" no new evidence or merits of the case will be considered. In order for a re trial of the facts to be made, a new trial has to be granted by the original court. Whereas if new evidence is made, such as a DNA test that proves innocence, a request for as new trial would be made in the first court of conviction. Higher courts only examine the procedure of the lower court.

Do home security systems prevent burglaries?

Home security systems are more about taking preventative measures and really only help minimize the risk of a break-in or injury to you and your family. Depending on the type of system you have, you can either scare burglars away by using motion sensors, sounding an alarm when a window and/or door is broken or opened. If you have a security company monitoring your security system, then they are notified and will contact you in case you do not disarm your alarm and will dispatch help when needed.

So, the short answer is, no, security systems will not stop break-ins from occurring, but they can help minimize the possibility of one from occurring and can make sure help is on the way when you need it!

Why should gangs be considered part of organized crime?

This is an opionion question and is not allowed on WikiAnswers, but I will answer it in my opinion.

A gang is a formed group. Forming a group is an organized act. Also any crime which is done in concert (that is, with the assistance of another or more persons) is also an organized crime. So if you commit a crime on behalf of a gang, it is an organized crime.
