    printer friendly version

    Question: If I drive my mom's car without her knowing and get caught what would happen?

    Answer: If you mean that you have taken your mom's car without her permission, Arizona Revised Statutes 13-1803 would call this the crime of "unlawful use of means of transportation." This means the taking of a person's car without their permission, without intending to steal or keep it.

    It would be just a great a crime to take your parents' car without their permission as to take any other person's car, even a complete stranger.

    This crime in Arizona is a Class 5 Felony, which is punishable by up to 1 1/2 years in jail.

    I was driving my friends car-she's 17-and we were driving in a neighborhood. The cop started following us and I pulled out of the neighborhood. He pulled me over and told me I ran a stop sign. Then once he knew I was unlicensed, he asked for some ID. I gave him my school ID, and when he realized I wasn't from the public school, but from a Prep School, he said "ohhhh." He then told me he was looking for public school kids around the area because there had been robberies in the neighborhood. He still gave me a ticket to go to court. My friend didn't have anything done to her. Do you know
