- Colorado will also change to increase penalties for repeat offenders and add language that includes those who both knew they were in a stolen vehicle or should have reasonably known.
Felony and 3 years in jail automatically...how about that?
Why was it ever a misdemeanor?
Horse thieves used to swing from trees.
And horses do not even come insured either!
Montrose
Finally some accountability for the thieves.
Make it a felony 1st strike with a mandatory sentence of 25 years.
Car theft a misdemeanor? Wow!
It's the same in Alaska.
@@undeaddave9671 That's crazy!
the fact that it took 2023 for Colorado to make car theft a felony is sad.
Getting what voted for
Wait and see how they are charged, not plea bargaining down to a lesser crime. Watch for sentences. That will tell if they are serious.
I’m glad they’re finally doing something about it, now go after the catalytic converter thieves. They should also bring back the three strike law. (Three felonies and you’re out)
I spoke with a police officer months before this video and he had said that most vehicles stolen are used to commit other crimes which is why we need to take prosecution of such crimes seriously. Also, we need to pay attention to the judges that we elect into office. Right now judges in the metro area are letting these thieves off with just a slap on the wrist. This office said that he was assaulted while attempting to stop a vehicle from being stolen and the end result was that the judge let this guy off with just a fine. That is insane to me.......
Minimum penalty for auto theft should be 5 years on first offense with other harsher penalties for being armed..going on a chase..ect..ranging from 10 years min to life
Tesla's GPS Tracking, Sentry Mode, and Pin to Drive helps you keep what's yours.
So glad I moved out of Denver. The auto emissions laws were getting extremely strict making it ridiculous to pass emissions yet pollution really came from Colorado and California wild fires. Car theft and crime was terrible and homeless everywhere along with high cost of living and low wages.
Who would have thought making penalties harsher for criminals would deter them?!?!? This is fascinating! I wonder if the rest of the country knows about this!
Should have been a felony since forever.
It's sad how slow and inefficient law enforcement is when it comes to locating/collecting stolen vehicles.
Right? So many have GPS but then I again, I imagine the cars being stolen aren't as new? No idea tho
Care to offer your services to insurance companies? I'm betting they would pay you but I'm also betting you won't pick up the challenge.
Why try to stop car thief's when you can raise revenue for the state giving out tickets for rolling through stop signs
If you actually think a stolen car is high on the priority list with all the murders, assaults and break ins that happen in Denver you sir are apart of the problem. Law Enforcement is not the issue at this point the way the Democrats are running the state with soft policy is the issue.
Sadly they are busy with shootings, thefts take a back seat
If we had more police---would help considerably. Penalities only if the criminal theft is charged and PUT IN JAIL.
About darn time!!!
Making it a felony is only going to work if they then actually prosecute the car thieves..
BUT.. .will they actually follow through and prosecute anyone?
I highly doubt it.
Right? Colorado holding criminals accountable? Doubtful.
To be expected of The Party
Only one way when confronting the thieves, armed.
Cut off hands and you'll start to see a decrease in theft. Either theft will go down or there will be a lot of people missing hands.
Auto theft should also include automatic 10 year suspension of driver's license post prison release.
You can change the law but that doesn't mean your judges will follow it.
You know what also helps prevent auto theft?
Having a manual transmission😁
😢 💔 praying for anyone 💔 who has lost someone over drugs it ruins family members 🙏💔😢 also we need more law enforcement like this great Sherriffs Dept and the great lawman in Florida i live in Denver Colorado a family is lucky if they even respond and Denver Colorado has an immunity law clause to protect the bad agency 😮
But only if they get caught and how is this helping hard working families already struggling to make it. The victims in these car thefts should get a lot more then just ohhh well go start a GoFundMe to raise money for another vichical, and you should have done better to prevent this..
I know a few people who have had their cars stolen and there hard working families now stressing about how their going to get to work and still having to make car payments on their stolen cars...
There's no justice in that..
They should have car insurance?
@@musicessexx general that only covers 2 weeks of a car rental and then they might pay something but only what they see the car is worth, they don't pay or help you pay off the remaining car payment balance. So insurance isn't the answer.
It took until the year 2023 for them to make Auto theft a felony?
The world suffers from the presence of criminals. If you want a better world, demand better citizens.
No if you want less criminals make the consequences so severe that its just not worth the crime. Being tough on crime might have had a higher incarcerated population but we are also one of the most populated nations in the world. And if you take away those who are not citizens in our prison system the number actually looks a little bit better.
A little over 100 yrs ago they would HANG A HORSE THIEF. Today you can get a used horse for $1,200 but you can't replace a descent, dependable car for that.
3 Years, no bail if caught "red handed", plus additional Years for hardship inflicted and damage to property.
They don’t have to worry about prosecution because the police are running extortion rackets and making and performing stupid songs instead of enforcing laws. For the four years I lived in Dolores, CO from
8/2018 to 8/2022 Oceanside PD and Cortez PD ran broadcast in extortion rackets via illegal surveillance equipment, directional speakers and voice over power line communications where ac motors are used as speakers. A crooked Oceanside cop illegally installed a tracking device on my vehicle in Colorado and tried to have me carjacked five times the Montezuma County Sheriffs argued their way out of taking a police report.
As fucked up as that sounds. I believe you.
One ofthe worst?! Were #1, ive had my car and motorcycle stolen in under 3 year span.
It's about time the stare of CO grew some balls and come down on auto theft. Next up work on getting rid of the homeless that is out of control!!!!! There is a reason why people are leaving the state. On the bright side, Karen Morfitt you are beautiful. Thanks for the report, be well.
I’m sure criminals are shaking in their boots.
Words on paper.
Ooh, scary.
The cops could care less about stolen property. It's up to the individual to stay vigilant.
best way to prevent auto theft - allow car makers to create cars that explode like IEDs whenever someone unauthorized to drive it even tries to tow the damn thing off
It is about time.
democratic policies soft on crime, people sick of their lunacy
Capital punishment for theft over $1000.
So, stealing from poorer people will also be a crime now.
We really need to be tough on crime not soft on crime. It is pretty clear that being soft on criminals does not have the desired effect.
A car thief is a car thief. THEY DONT CARE ABOUT THE LAW!
Love this !!!
You make a note you place on the driver window that says no battery in Spanish. And every night you take your battery out and carry it in the house with you. I've done that for years so the battery won't die during cold weather. Also to not have to have full coverage insurance you can't steal a vehicle that has no battery. Or you can remove the ground strap from the battery so it's there but the negative ground cable is gone they can't steal a car with no ground strap on the battery.
There is a key operated locking disconnect switch for battery cables, and a key operated fuel line stop valve.
Don't you all worry, the car thieves will be able to plead back down to a misdemeanor and cross their heart and hope to die promise they won't ever do it again.
WHY do we have such a high rate of vehicle theft? What aren't we doing that other states are doing?
Getting what voted for
Don't worry, California will help protect criminals and auto burglars by passing new no bail laws and by reducing any crime related to a car a misdemeanor including vehicular manslaughter.
Accepting crime, increases crime.
Finally!
Good job
Surprised Colorado didn’t legalize car theft… good for Colorado
Wow go figure 🤦🏽♂️
Is Karen actually Christopher reeves ?
Why not grand theft of an automobile when it's the first vehicle?
But will they be prosecuted?
Hell yeah that’s awesome
This should be for ALL crimes.
What happened to Colorado's woke policies? LOL
How are those liberal progressive policies working out in Colorado. In Texas you can use any force up to including deadly force to protect property.
I miss the sanity in Texas
@@jamesrecknor6752 Come on back.
Alaska has to be the worst.
Horse theives used to get a hanging by the neck in the real America.
Criminals don't care about jail, prison time or laws lol...
People need to use The Club on their steering wheel. It deters theives.
A few swipes with a hacksaw on the steering wheel will remove a club. Under the plastic of a steering wheel, typically there is a 5/16" diameter rod for structure.
@@bobroberts2371 That may be true but most car thieves don't usually carry a hack saw with them. It is cheap insuarnce to put the Club on your steering wheel. Most thieves will just move on to an easier target.
Jamal and Daquan at it again...SMH
Wym? All of the car thieves shown were white 😂
😢ive had my car stolen but it was a tow truck driver yes who stoled it what made it worse the owner and me were good 👍 friends it was his brother my bff 😁 approached him told him how come u stoled my bff car he put his head down and the owner said my brother would never well he did but god sees everything 🙏💔😢 it hurt me never accuse but my bff said Christine it was him.

2 Karen’s
What's so funny about your vehicle being stolen?
democrats! 😆😝😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😝😝😆😆😆😝
She was so happy when talking about her loss
instead of trying to increase the suffering in the world with your so called "punishments". how about you focus on fixing society, so there is no need, nor want, to steal cars, or anything else..................... focus on the problem, not the symptoms...... stop trying to make the world a worse place.
People will do evil things no matter how good society is.
You’re very naive.
Theft is a choice. Choices have consequences. There is never a "need" to steal - there are numerous charitable organizations who can provide food, clothing, and shelter.
@@grahamdolamore Typical democrat idealist basically. One day they might mature.
Lol you live in a fairytale. The fact that you think people do not respond to harsh punishments shows how naïve you are.
Sad to say but just because the penalties increase it doesn't mean that liberal prosecutors here will actually hold offenders responsible. I'm afraid this is just a "feel good" move. I hope I'm wrong.
