Robbery PC 211

CA penal code Section 211 is the crime of robbery.
The code defines robbery as:

Robbery is the felonious taking of personal property
in the possession of another, from his person or immediate
presence, and against his will, accomplished by means of
force or fear.

Robbery can easily be described as theft with force or
threat of force. A person commits robbery when he or she
takes the personal property of another (wallet, keys,
clothes, or other items) with the use of force or the threat
of force on the victim. There are a few other
requirements for robbery, but these are the basic
requirements. Force can be minimal such as a simple touch
it need cause injury to the victim.

Robbery is a serious crime and carries serious penalties
for those who are convicted.
