§ 91006 Joint Violation Liability

Key Takeaways

  • •If more than one person breaks the law together, they can all be punished for it.
  • •Each person can be held fully responsible, even if others were involved.
  • •The group doesn’t split the blame—each person can face the full consequences.

Example

Three friends vandalize a park bench together by spray-painting it.

Even though all three did it together, each one can be punished as if they did it alone. The court doesn’t care who did more—they can all be held fully responsible.
