Wisconsin’s newest laws will increase the punishment for carjacking and reckless driving.
Governor Evers signed the two new laws yesterday. The new carjacking law adds 20 years to the sentence for taking someone’s car at gunpoint. The old sentence was 40 years, now anyone convicted of carjacking can be sent to prison for up to 60 years. The reckless driving law doubles the fines and potential jail time for all manner of reckless driving. The governor says he hopes both laws make Wisconsin’s streets safer.
