Definition of Carjacking

California Penal Code Section 215 defines Carjacking as the taking of another person's vehicle, from the person's possession or immediate presence, accomplished by force or fear. This offense is categorized as a violent crime by the criminal justice system, carrying up to nine years in prison. If a weapon is used, or a physical injury caused to the victim, the prosecution will file additional punishment enhancements. If the suspect has a prior criminal history, the prosecution may seek a life sentence under the Three Strikes Law.
