Lesson Overview

11.26 – Carjacking: Why It’s a Federal Offense: Carjacking is when someone takes a vehicle from another person by force or threat. It becomes a federal offense because cars often cross state lines and involve interstate commerce. The law protects both property and human safety during such violent acts. Teens who join friends in stealing cars may not realize how serious it is. Federal agents investigate because the crime affects public roads and travel systems. Penalties are high, including long sentences and permanent records. Even being the lookout can lead to equal punishment. Understanding this helps youth see how one reckless act can change everything. The government views violence during theft as a major risk to society. Staying away from dangerous groups keeps both you and others safe. Respecting ownership shows maturity and control. Taking responsibility before trouble happens protects your freedom. Learning about consequences builds stronger judgment for future choices. Knowing how quickly small crimes grow big can prevent disaster. Freedom is earned by choices that respect life, property, and law.
