Re: Ask A Police Officer

I can't speak for the Republic of Texas, but I can speak for the People's Republic of Commiefornia.

If ANYONE takes the car without the registered owner's permission, they have violated section 10851 of the Calif Vehicle Code. Basically it is the stolen car code, but it also applies to joyriding. The D.A. has the discretion to charge a misdemeanor or the felony, depending on the intent of the person who took the car.

Good luck with Texas....
