Q: Jail time section 10855 in San Mateo county california
Rent a car embezzle section 20855
A:
I apologize, but I believe there may be some confusion or errors in the legal codes you mentioned. Allow me to provide the correct information based on California law:
1. Section 10855 in San Mateo County, California:
There is no specific "Section 10855" in the San Mateo County legal code that I could find related to jail time. San Mateo County follows the California Penal Code for criminal offenses and sentencing.
2. Rent a car embezzle section 20855:
There is no "Section 20855" in the California Vehicle Code or Penal Code specifically related to embezzlement of rental cars.
However, the act of embezzling a rental car could be prosecuted under the following California laws:
- California Penal Code 503 PC - Embezzlement: This law makes it a crime to fraudulently appropriate property that has been entrusted to you. The penalties for embezzlement depend on the value of the property involved and can range from misdemeanor to felony charges.
- California Vehicle Code 10855 VC - Failure to Return a Rental Car: This law makes it a crime to fail to return a rental car within five days of the expiration of the rental agreement or within five days of a written demand from the rental company. Violating this section is typically a misdemeanor offense.
The specific penalties for these offenses would depend on the circumstances of the case and the defendant's criminal history. It's always best to consult with a qualified attorney for legal advice on specific situations.
