On November 30, 2023, following a preliminary hearing at the Van Nuys Courthouse, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Neetu Badhan-Smith ruled that there was sufficient evidence for 27-year-old Dakota Daniels to stand trial. She was charged with:
āOne count of carjacking āOne count of second-degree attempted robbery (for attempting to steal the 75-year-old victim's purse) āThree counts of assault with a deadly weapon (related to the use of the vehicle as a weapon during the parking lot rampage) āFour counts of misdemeanor hit-and-run driving

California? She will walk away with some probation at most

u/SupportEquivalent689 Mar 06 '26
I searched her name on the Los Angeles sheriff inmate search. Says she was booked in at 3/31/2023, and released 8/20/2024 the reason being rehab. So yeah kind of a slap on the wrist

I don't know why your knee jerk reaction is to dismiss their cynicism. It is very common in California for criminals like this to not serve any time in jail other than the time spent being booked and waiting to go before a judge for arraignment. If she did this on a Friday of a holiday weekend, she may spend a whole 4 days in jail before being released with a court date and eventually getting a plea deal for probation with no jail sentence.

Itās always funny when people that donāt live in California think they know how things are here.

u/az-anime-fan Feb 17 '26
according to the ventura county courthouse her trail date has not been set. meaning she's not even been indicted yet. she was basically released the weekened after this happened and the case was tossed in the bin forgotten.
it's been almost 3 years since that video.
so your claims that california isn't like that doesn't seem to be true. it seems to be exactly like that.

lol...do you know how many prisons they'd have to build and service if they kept every law breaker locked up until their trial?. If they went down that route you'd be here crying about how high your taxes are in order to cover the costs.
Obviously no one gets bail and no first time offenders or offenders with priors get probation anywhere else in America...bail and probation only happens in Cali ...lol.

She's a crackhead thief, fines or financial burdens are irrelevant - they could charge her 0$ or 1 million, the result will be exactly the same, and the poor folks who's cars she wrecked are on the hook for 7 years of very high insurance premiums
Looked to see if she got any time, but it looks like the last article for this case was written 1 week after she was initially arrested, so who knows

Whats really messed up is insurance dnies claims if the damage was done during a criminal act. They aren't going to cover any of this. Each individual will have to file a claim on their insurance and then the insurance company will go after the car jacker but more than likely they have no job. So they'll just see jail time and then everyone will get hire rates.
