When an individual is pulled over in a stolen car, the government will often charge felony receiving stolen property, as well as unauthorized use of an automobile. Their theory is that the driver knew, or reasonably should have known, that the car was stolen, and that they were therefore “in receipt” of stolen property, and didn’t have permission from the owner to use the car. An experienced attorney like Tom knows how to combat these allegations by using the facts of the case and circumstances surrounding the car stop to your advantage.
