Wisconsin Gov. Evers signs carjacking, reckless driving crackdowns into law
Fox News
Democratic Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers on Friday signed into law two bills increasing criminal penalties for carjacking and reckless driving.
The first bill designates carjacking as a formal crime. Until now, someone who uses force or threatens to use force to steal a vehicle can be charged with operating a vehicle without the owner's consent.
The bill raises the maximum sentence from 40 years in prison to 60 years. Anyone who steals a car by force without using a weapon will still face up to 15 years in prison.
