But you're still robbing a truck...
- jpitz 6y agoIf it is unoccupied it is burglary, right? A less risky crime, both in the face of opposition by a potentially armed driver, and the potential criminal justice consequences.
- TigeriusKirk 6y agoNew crimes and penalties can easily be created.
- jpitz 6y agoThey could, but ultimately, this is not a violent crime. How does it benefit the greater good to treat this a different, and I assume, more severe, crime than simple burglary of an unoccupied building?
- TigeriusKirk 6y agoOne with a large array of cameras. So the dumbest possible target. But people rob banks, where they're also 100% guaranteed to be on camera and automatically involves an FBI investigation. As well as having a surprisingly low average haul (a few thousand dollars).

- foobarian 6y agoPray tell what are you going to gain by robbing a truck? A bunch of plastic crap you're now going to have to fence? At least in the 80s it would be TVs or cameras you could liquidate on the black market. A few months ago I listed an old LCD TV on Craigslist. A bunch of offers fussed about coming to get it, and I ended up picking the most polite one and delivered it. I could barely even give it away!
