Utah bill would require jail time, hefty fine for porch pirates
A Utah lawmaker is looking to set punishments for porch pirates.
If convicted, individuals may be required to spend no less than 10 days in jail and be fined no less than $3,000.
“I don’t know… if that will last or not,” Davis said, “but I think overall the precept of the bill itself and trying to get at the root of porch piracy in the state of Utah will be addressed.”
Davis told 2News porch piracy is the number one complaint he hears about from people in his district.
In 2019, a study found that porch pirates steal more packages in Salt Lake City than in almost any other U.S. city.
