There are too many varibles to consider to answer this question competently. The best thing you can do is assure he has a retained attorney. Contact me directly.
Re: grand theft auto
Can they? Sure. One of us attorneys telling you our opinion of what someone else can or "can't" do is of no value to you. Neither you, nor he, can just waive a printout of our reply in the judge's face. Get him counsel to handle this properly unless he doesn't mind the taste of prison food. Feel free to contact me if serious about defense, and the case is in SoCal.
