Carjacking in Micigan is a violent crime wherein the offender uses violence, force or threats in order to take a motor vehicle without the owner’s permission. Carjacking is actually a form of robbery, when the object of theft is a motor vehicle (car, truck, bus, SUV, motorcycle or boat). Kidnapping may also be associated with carjacking, as it may occur that a passenger or driver is taken with the vehicle.
Because carjacking is a violent crime with the victim being forcefully pulled or sometimes shot to get them out of the vehicle, judges tend to hand out stiff sentences with lengthy prison time. You need to immediately employ an attorney to secure evidence, contact witnesses and be present during any interrogations by police.
