If you stole a pen from a bank, would it be classed as bank robbery?
103496
To constitute the crime of bank robbery, three ingredients are necessary: \n\nFirst, a felonious intent, or animua furandi; \nsecondly, some degree of violence, or putting in fear; \nthirdly, a taking from a person to another. \n\nHere if somebody stole a pen then two ingredients may be fulfilled 1.intention 2. taking from the person so without the third element i.e. violence and putting the other person in fear, this act would not be classed as a "Bank Robbery". But if that pen is taken with some violence and fear then even a pen stoling would constitute a "Bank Robbery"

This one is practical: you would be gaining money the government cant afford to pay you. You would be claiming to have money that the government doesn't have record of, and that would be a national incident. If you were to buy something with fake money,you would be stealing from the person who is paid with it. When they turn it into the bank and get arrested, it isn't very fun for them.

I know a guy who gave his wife $ 75,000 cash on Monday. He pulled $ 5000 from the stack and deposited 1/2 of that in the bank. Spent the other 1/2. \n\nTuesday, the guy puts it inside a plastic crate & padlocks it for security. He leaves town for 3 days.\n\nBy Friday, wifey can't stand being locked out from the cash and cuts the box. Inside was a carefully taped together stack of color copies of $100 bills. \n\nWife is furious! Brings the photo copies to police to "prove" there used to be all that cash.\n\nPolice say husband having $ 75,000 cash is not a crime...But YOU could be in trouble for carrying around all this counterfit money.\n\nI'm just glad I didn't have to bail her out of jail!

Bank robbery is a federal crime and with all the security that banks have all get caught and serve time in federal prison. Maybe you should grow up and get a job.

Yes, get a gun, get a car, and then go to a bank... When you get there, load the gun and exit the car... Walk into the bank... Scream, "I've got a gun you quivering sacks of shit! Gimme all the money you got!"... Then shoot the guard to let them know your serious... As soon as you get the money run to the car and speed away as fast as possible... Sure fire fast money...\n\n(Any and all statements are purely humurous and by no means serious... So don't rob a bank, unless you like money)

I'd say it depends on what you wrote the check for. If it was something related to a crime (paying a ticket, or something), maybe. In most cases, bouncing a check will just end up costing you money.

Absolutely!\nJust as bank robbers can sue their victims for getting in their way.

Robbery is:\n\n1) taking property,\n2) which is not yours,\n3) through violence, of the threat of violence.\n\nAll three are required.

places that are as bad as them. once your purse was stolen, you have to contact your bank right away. as you will be able to show you wern't the one who wrote a check, its still going to take longer. the bank will give you a differant account right away once you contact them and your funds are transfered over. to get your money back from the check if your bank after notification allowed it to pass. they are liable to you for that amount. if its before you told the bank, you will have to contact the state attorneys office in your state and where the check was written to find the person to get the money back. some banks like credit card companies allow the first 50.00 and after that your account is covered.

I think you might be confusing robbery with theft or maybe shoplifting.  If you are unsure, find out because robbery is much more serious.  \n\nIf it is theft then it varies from one place to another, but it usually would be a misdemeanor in most places.  \n\nNow, if we are talking about robbery it is usually a felony.  If a weapon was involved, or if someone was injured, then it would DEFINITELY be a felony.\n\nKeep in mind, the dollar amount is not the only determing factor of what it is, misdemeanor or felony.

FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation)\n\nYes it is a federal offense.  Unless you rob a bank\ncalled "Fred's Bank".  But if you rob a bank called "Fred's Bank", chances are there isn't much money in it because who in the hell would put there money in a bank called "Fred's Bank".  I say regardless of the amount you stoled, if it was a bank like fred's, then you wouldn't go to a federal penitiary, you would go to a state penitiary.\n\nSupposely, if you rob a FDIC bank, you will go to a federal prison, which is supposed to be a lot nicer.  If you only make minimum wage, a federal prison might be a step up in life.  But I say it isn't easy to commit a crime that will land you in a federal prison.   To get yourself in a federal prison, you will need to demonstrate that you a threat to the United States.  I am assumming your from the U.S.  So to get into a federal prison you must be intelligent, and a threat.  Not just a terrorist, but someone that could do harm to a country in any way.

Most definitely! As long as it doesn't totally render the bill unrecognizeable, you can write things on it without getting sent to jail. You may get a stare if the cashier happens to see it, but just ignore them.
