Interstate crimes are crimes that take place in two or more states. United States Code 2314 states that it is a Federal offense to transport, or aid in the transportation, of stolen property valuing at least $5,000 across state lines. An aggressive and experienced interstate criminal defense lawyer has knowledge of all interstate crimes and winning defenses for each situation.

Interstate crime charges include:

• Cargo theft from interstate shipments
• Commercial auto theft
• Interstate stalking-crossing state lines with the intention to kill, injure, harass, and/or intimidate another person
• Transportation of stolen property from one state to another

The following three factors must be proven before a defendant can be found guilty of certain interstate crimes:

1. The defendant transported stolen goods across state lines.
2. The stolen goods amounted to at least $5,000.
3. The defendant knew that the goods being transported were, in fact, stolen.
