Penalties for Theft Crimes in California
The specific range of penalties for theft and larceny will vary depending
on the severity of the alleged crime. Under California State Law, petty
theft may be punished by as much as $1,000 in fines, up to six months
in jail, or both. Felony sentencing is much more serious, carrying anywhere
from three months to six years in prison. These penalties can increase
if you have prior criminal convictions.
Criminal penalties such as jail time and fines are not the only potential
consequences of a theft crime conviction. A theft-related criminal record
can greatly harm your future employment options, as employers typically
see applicants with histories of theft as being dishonest or having the
potential to steal from their companies. Furthermore, most theft offenses
in California are classified as “crimes of moral turpitude,”
meaning that convictions of this nature can be used as a reason to deny
you of certain licenses and certifications such as a nursing license,
a contractor’s license, or a real estate license. If you are a foreign
national currently living, studying, or working in the United States on
a temporary basis, a conviction of a theft crime can also have an impact
on your immigration status.
