False Imprisonment Example
Examine the case study provided in Section 10. Alter the facts so that Shawna
asks Thomas to stop and let her out after she has driven fifty kilometers. Even
when Shawna begs and pleads for Thomas to unlock the doors, he stops, locks
all the doors, and will not let her out for twenty minutes. Thomas may have
committed false imprisonment in this instance. Even though Shawna entered
Thomas's car voluntarily, he took away her freedom against her will when he
locked the doors and kept her inside. Shawna asked Thomas to pull over and
stop the car, so he did not move her without her permission. False incarceration
does not, however, entail asportation. Even though Thomas did not specifically
want to harm Shawna, commit a different crime, or demand ransom, his actions
frequently demonstrate a broad intent or knowledge to do the crime, which is
enough to qualify him for false imprisonment. Thomas might be charged with
and found guilty of wrongful imprisonment, a lower-level crime rather than
abduction, based on these facts.
Together, the Theft Statutes
In the past, there were three types of nonviolent theft: false pretenses,
embezzlement, and larceny. The kinds of goods that can be stolen and the ways
in which theft can occur vary throughout the categories. With a consistent
grading system that is mostly based on the value of the stolen property,
contemporary jurisdictions incorporate all three types of nonviolent theft under
a single consolidated theft act. Under a single grading scheme, the Model Penal
Code unifies all nonviolent theft charges, such as extortion and receiving stolen
property (Model Penal Code § 223.1). The definition of theft as it appears in
contemporary consolidated theft statutes is discussed here, with proper
reference to the historical differences between the several categories of theft.
This chapter discusses the elements of theft, which include criminal act,
criminal purpose, accompanying circumstances, causality, and injury.
Theft Consolidation Act
Theft of real property, personal property, or services is the criminal act element
required under consolidated theft statutes. Land and anything permanently
affixed to it, such as a structure, are considered real property. Any mobile object
is considered personal property. Tangible items such as cash, jewels, cars,
technology, cell phones, and clothes can all be considered personal property.
Like stocks and bonds, personal property can also be intangible, meaning that
although it has worth, it cannot be owned or touched. Under a single
consolidated grading provision, the Model Penal Code makes theft by deceit,
theft of services, theft by unlawfully taking moveable goods, and theft by failing
to dispose of obtained monies as required illegal.

reference to the historical differences between the several categories of theft.
This chapter discusses the elements of theft, which include criminal act,
criminal purpose, accompanying circumstances, causality, and injury.
Theft Consolidation Act
Theft of real property, personal property, or services is the criminal act element
required under consolidated theft statutes. Land and anything permanently
affixed to it, such as a structure, are considered real property. Any mobile object
is considered personal property. Tangible items such as cash, jewels, cars,
technology, cell phones, and clothes can all be considered personal property.
Like stocks and bonds, personal property can also be intangible, meaning that
although it has worth, it cannot be owned or touched. Under a single
consolidated grading provision, the Model Penal Code makes theft by deceit,
theft of services, theft by unlawfully taking moveable goods, and theft by failing
to dispose of obtained monies as required illegal.
Examine the case study provided in Section 10. Alter the facts so that Shawna
asks Thomas to stop and let her out after she has driven fifty kilometers. Even
when Shawna begs and pleads for Thomas to unlock the doors, he stops, locks
all the doors, and will not let her out for twenty minutes. Thomas may have
committed false imprisonment in this instance. Even though Shawna entered
Thomas's car voluntarily, he took away her freedom against her will when he
locked the doors and kept her inside. Shawna asked Thomas to pull over and
stop the car, so he did not move her without her permission. False incarceration
does not, however, entail asportation. Even though Thomas did not specifically
want to harm Shawna, commit a different crime, or demand ransom, his actions
frequently demonstrate a broad intent or knowledge to do the crime, which is
enough to qualify him for false imprisonment. Thomas might be charged with
and found guilty of wrongful imprisonment, a lower-level crime rather than
abduction, based on these facts.
Together, the Theft Statutes
In the past, there were three types of nonviolent theft: false pretenses,
embezzlement, and larceny. The kinds of goods that can be stolen and the ways
in which theft can occur vary throughout the categories. With a consistent
grading system that is mostly based on the value of the stolen property,
contemporary jurisdictions incorporate all three types of nonviolent theft under
a single consolidated theft act. Under a single grading scheme, the Model Penal
Code unifies all nonviolent theft charges, such as extortion and receiving stolen
property (Model Penal Code § 223.1). The definition of theft as it appears in
contemporary consolidated theft statutes is discussed here, with proper

want to harm Shawna, commit a different crime, or demand ransom, his actions
frequently demonstrate a broad intent or knowledge to do the crime, which is
enough to qualify him for false imprisonment. Thomas might be charged with
and found guilty of wrongful imprisonment, a lower-level crime rather than
abduction, based on these facts.
Together, the Theft Statutes
In the past, there were three types of nonviolent theft: false pretenses,
embezzlement, and larceny. The kinds of goods that can be stolen and the ways
in which theft can occur vary throughout the categories. With a consistent
grading system that is mostly based on the value of the stolen property,
contemporary jurisdictions incorporate all three types of nonviolent theft under
a single consolidated theft act. Under a single grading scheme, the Model Penal
Code unifies all nonviolent theft charges, such as extortion and receiving stolen
property (Model Penal Code § 223.1). The definition of theft as it appears in
contemporary consolidated theft statutes is discussed here, with proper
reference to the historical differences between the several categories of theft.
This chapter discusses the elements of theft, which include criminal act,
criminal purpose, accompanying circumstances, causality, and injury.
Theft Consolidation Act
Theft of real property, personal property, or services is the criminal act element
required under consolidated theft statutes. Land and anything permanently
affixed to it, such as a structure, are considered real property. Any mobile object
is considered personal property. Tangible items such as cash, jewels, cars,
technology, cell phones, and clothes can all be considered personal property.
Like stocks and bonds, personal property can also be intangible, meaning that
although it has worth, it cannot be owned or touched. Under a single
consolidated grading provision, the Model Penal Code makes theft by deceit,
theft of services, theft by unlawfully taking moveable goods, and theft by failing
to dispose of obtained monies as required illegal.
Examine the case study provided in Section 10. Alter the facts so that Shawna
asks Thomas to stop and let her out after she has driven fifty kilometers. Even
when Shawna begs and pleads for Thomas to unlock the doors, he stops, locks
all the doors, and will not let her out for twenty minutes. Thomas may have
committed false imprisonment in this instance. Even though Shawna entered
Thomas's car voluntarily, he took away her freedom against her will when he
locked the doors and kept her inside. Shawna asked Thomas to pull over and
stop the car, so he did not move her without her permission. False incarceration
does not, however, entail asportation. Even though Thomas did not specifically
want to harm Shawna, commit a different crime, or demand ransom, his actions
frequently demonstrate a broad intent or knowledge to do the crime, which is

Like stocks and bonds, personal property can also be intangible, meaning that
although it has worth, it cannot be owned or touched. Under a single
consolidated grading provision, the Model Penal Code makes theft by deceit,
theft of services, theft by unlawfully taking moveable goods, and theft by failing
to dispose of obtained monies as required illegal.
Examine the case study provided in Section 10. Alter the facts so that Shawna
asks Thomas to stop and let her out after she has driven fifty kilometers. Even
when Shawna begs and pleads for Thomas to unlock the doors, he stops, locks
all the doors, and will not let her out for twenty minutes. Thomas may have
committed false imprisonment in this instance. Even though Shawna entered
Thomas's car voluntarily, he took away her freedom against her will when he
locked the doors and kept her inside. Shawna asked Thomas to pull over and
stop the car, so he did not move her without her permission. False incarceration
does not, however, entail asportation. Even though Thomas did not specifically
want to harm Shawna, commit a different crime, or demand ransom, his actions
frequently demonstrate a broad intent or knowledge to do the crime, which is
enough to qualify him for false imprisonment. Thomas might be charged with
and found guilty of wrongful imprisonment, a lower-level crime rather than
abduction, based on these facts.
Together, the Theft Statutes
In the past, there were three types of nonviolent theft: false pretenses,
embezzlement, and larceny. The kinds of goods that can be stolen and the ways
in which theft can occur vary throughout the categories. With a consistent
grading system that is mostly based on the value of the stolen property,
contemporary jurisdictions incorporate all three types of nonviolent theft under
a single consolidated theft act. Under a single grading scheme, the Model Penal
Code unifies all nonviolent theft charges, such as extortion and receiving stolen
property (Model Penal Code § 223.1). The definition of theft as it appears in
contemporary consolidated theft statutes is discussed here, with proper
reference to the historical differences between the several categories of theft.
This chapter discusses the elements of theft, which include criminal act,
criminal purpose, accompanying circumstances, causality, and injury.
Theft Consolidation Act
Theft of real property, personal property, or services is the criminal act element
required under consolidated theft statutes. Land and anything permanently
affixed to it, such as a structure, are considered real property. Any mobile object
is considered personal property. Tangible items such as cash, jewels, cars,
technology, cell phones, and clothes can all be considered personal property.
Like stocks and bonds, personal property can also be intangible, meaning that
although it has worth, it cannot be owned or touched. Under a single

in which theft can occur vary throughout the categories. With a consistent
grading system that is mostly based on the value of the stolen property,
contemporary jurisdictions incorporate all three types of nonviolent theft under
a single consolidated theft act. Under a single grading scheme, the Model Penal
Code unifies all nonviolent theft charges, such as extortion and receiving stolen
property (Model Penal Code § 223.1). The definition of theft as it appears in
contemporary consolidated theft statutes is discussed here, with proper
reference to the historical differences between the several categories of theft.
This chapter discusses the elements of theft, which include criminal act,
criminal purpose, accompanying circumstances, causality, and injury.
Theft Consolidation Act
Theft of real property, personal property, or services is the criminal act element
required under consolidated theft statutes. Land and anything permanently
affixed to it, such as a structure, are considered real property. Any mobile object
is considered personal property. Tangible items such as cash, jewels, cars,
technology, cell phones, and clothes can all be considered personal property.
Like stocks and bonds, personal property can also be intangible, meaning that
although it has worth, it cannot be owned or touched. Under a single
consolidated grading provision, the Model Penal Code makes theft by deceit,
theft of services, theft by unlawfully taking moveable goods, and theft by failing
to dispose of obtained monies as required illegal.
Examine the case study provided in Section 10. Alter the facts so that Shawna
asks Thomas to stop and let her out after she has driven fifty kilometers. Even
when Shawna begs and pleads for Thomas to unlock the doors, he stops, locks
all the doors, and will not let her out for twenty minutes. Thomas may have
committed false imprisonment in this instance. Even though Shawna entered
Thomas's car voluntarily, he took away her freedom against her will when he
locked the doors and kept her inside. Shawna asked Thomas to pull over and
stop the car, so he did not move her without her permission. False incarceration
does not, however, entail asportation. Even though Thomas did not specifically
want to harm Shawna, commit a different crime, or demand ransom, his actions
frequently demonstrate a broad intent or knowledge to do the crime, which is
enough to qualify him for false imprisonment. Thomas might be charged with
and found guilty of wrongful imprisonment, a lower-level crime rather than
abduction, based on these facts.

when Shawna begs and pleads for Thomas to unlock the doors, he stops, locks
all the doors, and will not let her out for twenty minutes. Thomas may have
committed false imprisonment in this instance. Even though Shawna entered
Thomas's car voluntarily, he took away her freedom against her will when he
locked the doors and kept her inside. Shawna asked Thomas to pull over and
stop the car, so he did not move her without her permission. False incarceration
does not, however, entail asportation. Even though Thomas did not specifically
want to harm Shawna, commit a different crime, or demand ransom, his actions
frequently demonstrate a broad intent or knowledge to do the crime, which is
enough to qualify him for false imprisonment. Thomas might be charged with
and found guilty of wrongful imprisonment, a lower-level crime rather than
abduction, based on these facts.
Together, the Theft Statutes
In the past, there were three types of nonviolent theft: false pretenses,
embezzlement, and larceny. The kinds of goods that can be stolen and the ways
in which theft can occur vary throughout the categories. With a consistent
grading system that is mostly based on the value of the stolen property,
contemporary jurisdictions incorporate all three types of nonviolent theft under
a single consolidated theft act. Under a single grading scheme, the Model Penal
Code unifies all nonviolent theft charges, such as extortion and receiving stolen
property (Model Penal Code § 223.1). The definition of theft as it appears in
contemporary consolidated theft statutes is discussed here, with proper
reference to the historical differences between the several categories of theft.
This chapter discusses the elements of theft, which include criminal act,
criminal purpose, accompanying circumstances, causality, and injury.
Theft Consolidation Act
Theft of real property, personal property, or services is the criminal act element
required under consolidated theft statutes. Land and anything permanently
affixed to it, such as a structure, are considered real property. Any mobile object
is considered personal property. Tangible items such as cash, jewels, cars,
technology, cell phones, and clothes can all be considered personal property.
Like stocks and bonds, personal property can also be intangible, meaning that
although it has worth, it cannot be owned or touched. Under a single
consolidated grading provision, the Model Penal Code makes theft by deceit,
theft of services, theft by unlawfully taking moveable goods, and theft by failing
to dispose of obtained monies as required illegal.

reference to the historical differences between the several categories of theft.
This chapter discusses the elements of theft, which include criminal act,
criminal purpose, accompanying circumstances, causality, and injury.
Theft Consolidation Act
Theft of real property, personal property, or services is the criminal act element
required under consolidated theft statutes. Land and anything permanently
affixed to it, such as a structure, are considered real property. Any mobile object
is considered personal property. Tangible items such as cash, jewels, cars,
technology, cell phones, and clothes can all be considered personal property.
Like stocks and bonds, personal property can also be intangible, meaning that
although it has worth, it cannot be owned or touched. Under a single
consolidated grading provision, the Model Penal Code makes theft by deceit,
theft of services, theft by unlawfully taking moveable goods, and theft by failing
to dispose of obtained monies as required illegal.
Examine the case study provided in Section 10. Alter the facts so that Shawna
asks Thomas to stop and let her out after she has driven fifty kilometers. Even
when Shawna begs and pleads for Thomas to unlock the doors, he stops, locks
all the doors, and will not let her out for twenty minutes. Thomas may have
committed false imprisonment in this instance. Even though Shawna entered
Thomas's car voluntarily, he took away her freedom against her will when he
locked the doors and kept her inside. Shawna asked Thomas to pull over and
stop the car, so he did not move her without her permission. False incarceration
does not, however, entail asportation. Even though Thomas did not specifically
want to harm Shawna, commit a different crime, or demand ransom, his actions
frequently demonstrate a broad intent or knowledge to do the crime, which is
enough to qualify him for false imprisonment. Thomas might be charged with
and found guilty of wrongful imprisonment, a lower-level crime rather than
abduction, based on these facts.
Together, the Theft Statutes
In the past, there were three types of nonviolent theft: false pretenses,
embezzlement, and larceny. The kinds of goods that can be stolen and the ways
in which theft can occur vary throughout the categories. With a consistent
grading system that is mostly based on the value of the stolen property,
contemporary jurisdictions incorporate all three types of nonviolent theft under
a single consolidated theft act. Under a single grading scheme, the Model Penal
Code unifies all nonviolent theft charges, such as extortion and receiving stolen
property (Model Penal Code § 223.1). The definition of theft as it appears in
contemporary consolidated theft statutes is discussed here, with proper

want to harm Shawna, commit a different crime, or demand ransom, his actions
frequently demonstrate a broad intent or knowledge to do the crime, which is
enough to qualify him for false imprisonment. Thomas might be charged with
and found guilty of wrongful imprisonment, a lower-level crime rather than
abduction, based on these facts.
Together, the Theft Statutes
In the past, there were three types of nonviolent theft: false pretenses,
embezzlement, and larceny. The kinds of goods that can be stolen and the ways
in which theft can occur vary throughout the categories. With a consistent
grading system that is mostly based on the value of the stolen property,
contemporary jurisdictions incorporate all three types of nonviolent theft under
a single consolidated theft act. Under a single grading scheme, the Model Penal
Code unifies all nonviolent theft charges, such as extortion and receiving stolen
property (Model Penal Code § 223.1). The definition of theft as it appears in
contemporary consolidated theft statutes is discussed here, with proper
reference to the historical differences between the several categories of theft.
This chapter discusses the elements of theft, which include criminal act,
criminal purpose, accompanying circumstances, causality, and injury.
Theft Consolidation Act
Theft of real property, personal property, or services is the criminal act element
required under consolidated theft statutes. Land and anything permanently
affixed to it, such as a structure, are considered real property. Any mobile object
is considered personal property. Tangible items such as cash, jewels, cars,
technology, cell phones, and clothes can all be considered personal property.
Like stocks and bonds, personal property can also be intangible, meaning that
although it has worth, it cannot be owned or touched. Under a single
consolidated grading provision, the Model Penal Code makes theft by deceit,
theft of services, theft by unlawfully taking moveable goods, and theft by failing
to dispose of obtained monies as required illegal.
Examine the case study provided in Section 10. Alter the facts so that Shawna
asks Thomas to stop and let her out after she has driven fifty kilometers. Even
when Shawna begs and pleads for Thomas to unlock the doors, he stops, locks
all the doors, and will not let her out for twenty minutes. Thomas may have
committed false imprisonment in this instance. Even though Shawna entered
Thomas's car voluntarily, he took away her freedom against her will when he
locked the doors and kept her inside. Shawna asked Thomas to pull over and
stop the car, so he did not move her without her permission. False incarceration
does not, however, entail asportation. Even though Thomas did not specifically
want to harm Shawna, commit a different crime, or demand ransom, his actions
frequently demonstrate a broad intent or knowledge to do the crime, which is

Like stocks and bonds, personal property can also be intangible, meaning that
although it has worth, it cannot be owned or touched. Under a single
consolidated grading provision, the Model Penal Code makes theft by deceit,
theft of services, theft by unlawfully taking moveable goods, and theft by failing
to dispose of obtained monies as required illegal.
Examine the case study provided in Section 10. Alter the facts so that Shawna
asks Thomas to stop and let her out after she has driven fifty kilometers. Even
when Shawna begs and pleads for Thomas to unlock the doors, he stops, locks
all the doors, and will not let her out for twenty minutes. Thomas may have
committed false imprisonment in this instance. Even though Shawna entered
Thomas's car voluntarily, he took away her freedom against her will when he
locked the doors and kept her inside. Shawna asked Thomas to pull over and
stop the car, so he did not move her without her permission. False incarceration
does not, however, entail asportation. Even though Thomas did not specifically
want to harm Shawna, commit a different crime, or demand ransom, his actions
frequently demonstrate a broad intent or knowledge to do the crime, which is
enough to qualify him for false imprisonment. Thomas might be charged with
and found guilty of wrongful imprisonment, a lower-level crime rather than
abduction, based on these facts.
Together, the Theft Statutes
In the past, there were three types of nonviolent theft: false pretenses,
embezzlement, and larceny. The kinds of goods that can be stolen and the ways
in which theft can occur vary throughout the categories. With a consistent
grading system that is mostly based on the value of the stolen property,
contemporary jurisdictions incorporate all three types of nonviolent theft under
a single consolidated theft act. Under a single grading scheme, the Model Penal
Code unifies all nonviolent theft charges, such as extortion and receiving stolen
property (Model Penal Code § 223.1). The definition of theft as it appears in
contemporary consolidated theft statutes is discussed here, with proper
reference to the historical differences between the several categories of theft.
This chapter discusses the elements of theft, which include criminal act,
criminal purpose, accompanying circumstances, causality, and injury.
Theft Consolidation Act
Theft of real property, personal property, or services is the criminal act element
required under consolidated theft statutes. Land and anything permanently
affixed to it, such as a structure, are considered real property. Any mobile object
is considered personal property. Tangible items such as cash, jewels, cars,
technology, cell phones, and clothes can all be considered personal property.
Like stocks and bonds, personal property can also be intangible, meaning that
although it has worth, it cannot be owned or touched. Under a single

in which theft can occur vary throughout the categories. With a consistent
grading system that is mostly based on the value of the stolen property,
contemporary jurisdictions incorporate all three types of nonviolent theft under
a single consolidated theft act. Under a single grading scheme, the Model Penal
Code unifies all nonviolent theft charges, such as extortion and receiving stolen
property (Model Penal Code § 223.1). The definition of theft as it appears in
contemporary consolidated theft statutes is discussed here, with proper
reference to the historical differences between the several categories of theft.
This chapter discusses the elements of theft, which include criminal act,
criminal purpose, accompanying circumstances, causality, and injury.
Theft Consolidation Act
Theft of real property, personal property, or services is the criminal act element
required under consolidated theft statutes. Land and anything permanently
affixed to it, such as a structure, are considered real property. Any mobile object
is considered personal property. Tangible items such as cash, jewels, cars,
technology, cell phones, and clothes can all be considered personal property.
Like stocks and bonds, personal property can also be intangible, meaning that
although it has worth, it cannot be owned or touched. Under a single
consolidated grading provision, the Model Penal Code makes theft by deceit,
theft of services, theft by unlawfully taking moveable goods, and theft by failing
to dispose of obtained monies as required illegal.
Examine the case study provided in Section 10. Alter the facts so that Shawna
asks Thomas to stop and let her out after she has driven fifty kilometers. Even
when Shawna begs and pleads for Thomas to unlock the doors, he stops, locks
all the doors, and will not let her out for twenty minutes. Thomas may have
committed false imprisonment in this instance. Even though Shawna entered
Thomas's car voluntarily, he took away her freedom against her will when he
locked the doors and kept her inside. Shawna asked Thomas to pull over and
stop the car, so he did not move her without her permission. False incarceration
does not, however, entail asportation. Even though Thomas did not specifically
want to harm Shawna, commit a different crime, or demand ransom, his actions
frequently demonstrate a broad intent or knowledge to do the crime, which is
enough to qualify him for false imprisonment. Thomas might be charged with
and found guilty of wrongful imprisonment, a lower-level crime rather than
abduction, based on these facts.

when Shawna begs and pleads for Thomas to unlock the doors, he stops, locks
all the doors, and will not let her out for twenty minutes. Thomas may have
committed false imprisonment in this instance. Even though Shawna entered
Thomas's car voluntarily, he took away her freedom against her will when he
locked the doors and kept her inside. Shawna asked Thomas to pull over and
stop the car, so he did not move her without her permission. False incarceration
does not, however, entail asportation. Even though Thomas did not specifically
want to harm Shawna, commit a different crime, or demand ransom, his actions
frequently demonstrate a broad intent or knowledge to do the crime, which is
enough to qualify him for false imprisonment. Thomas might be charged with
and found guilty of wrongful imprisonment, a lower-level crime rather than
abduction, based on these facts.
Together, the Theft Statutes
In the past, there were three types of nonviolent theft: false pretenses,
embezzlement, and larceny. The kinds of goods that can be stolen and the ways
in which theft can occur vary throughout the categories. With a consistent
grading system that is mostly based on the value of the stolen property,
contemporary jurisdictions incorporate all three types of nonviolent theft under
a single consolidated theft act. Under a single grading scheme, the Model Penal
Code unifies all nonviolent theft charges, such as extortion and receiving stolen
property (Model Penal Code § 223.1). The definition of theft as it appears in
contemporary consolidated theft statutes is discussed here, with proper
reference to the historical differences between the several categories of theft.
This chapter discusses the elements of theft, which include criminal act,
criminal purpose, accompanying circumstances, causality, and injury.
Theft Consolidation Act
Theft of real property, personal property, or services is the criminal act element
required under consolidated theft statutes. Land and anything permanently
affixed to it, such as a structure, are considered real property. Any mobile object
is considered personal property. Tangible items such as cash, jewels, cars,
technology, cell phones, and clothes can all be considered personal property.
Like stocks and bonds, personal property can also be intangible, meaning that
although it has worth, it cannot be owned or touched. Under a single
consolidated grading provision, the Model Penal Code makes theft by deceit,
theft of services, theft by unlawfully taking moveable goods, and theft by failing
to dispose of obtained monies as required illegal.

reference to the historical differences between the several categories of theft.
This chapter discusses the elements of theft, which include criminal act,
criminal purpose, accompanying circumstances, causality, and injury.
Theft Consolidation Act
Theft of real property, personal property, or services is the criminal act element
required under consolidated theft statutes. Land and anything permanently
affixed to it, such as a structure, are considered real property. Any mobile object
is considered personal property. Tangible items such as cash, jewels, cars,
technology, cell phones, and clothes can all be considered personal property.
Like stocks and bonds, personal property can also be intangible, meaning that
although it has worth, it cannot be owned or touched. Under a single
consolidated grading provision, the Model Penal Code makes theft by deceit,
theft of services, theft by unlawfully taking moveable goods, and theft by failing
to dispose of obtained monies as required illegal.
Examine the case study provided in Section 10. Alter the facts so that Shawna
asks Thomas to stop and let her out after she has driven fifty kilometers. Even
when Shawna begs and pleads for Thomas to unlock the doors, he stops, locks
all the doors, and will not let her out for twenty minutes. Thomas may have
committed false imprisonment in this instance. Even though Shawna entered
Thomas's car voluntarily, he took away her freedom against her will when he
locked the doors and kept her inside. Shawna asked Thomas to pull over and
stop the car, so he did not move her without her permission. False incarceration
does not, however, entail asportation. Even though Thomas did not specifically
want to harm Shawna, commit a different crime, or demand ransom, his actions
frequently demonstrate a broad intent or knowledge to do the crime, which is
enough to qualify him for false imprisonment. Thomas might be charged with
and found guilty of wrongful imprisonment, a lower-level crime rather than
abduction, based on these facts.
Together, the Theft Statutes
In the past, there were three types of nonviolent theft: false pretenses,
embezzlement, and larceny. The kinds of goods that can be stolen and the ways
in which theft can occur vary throughout the categories. With a consistent
grading system that is mostly based on the value of the stolen property,
contemporary jurisdictions incorporate all three types of nonviolent theft under
a single consolidated theft act. Under a single grading scheme, the Model Penal
Code unifies all nonviolent theft charges, such as extortion and receiving stolen
property (Model Penal Code § 223.1). The definition of theft as it appears in
contemporary consolidated theft statutes is discussed here, with proper
