Dealing in stolen property is selling or trying to sell any property that you know, or reasonably should know, is stolen. The important phrase there is "reasonably should know." A jury ultimately decides what is reasonable, but in general, you are not guilty of dealing in stolen property if you truly did not know it was stolen and had no good reason to suspect it was. A Miami dealing in stolen property criminal defense lawyer can help you mount a strong defense.

Depending on the circumstances, trafficking in stolen property could carry probation only up to 30 years in state prison. The most serious charge is reserved for people accused of organizing or supervising a theft and then selling the stolen property, a first-degree felony.
