What is the damage threshold for a felony charge according to Title 11 §811?

The damage threshold for a felony charge under Title 11 §811 is established at $1,500 or more. This means that in order for an act causing damage to property or theft to be classified as a felony, the value of the damage or property involved must reach or exceed this amount. This threshold is significant because it delineates between misdemeanor and felony charges, influencing the severity of the penalties and legal consequences. Felonies typically carry more severe punishments, reflecting the greater impact of crimes involving higher value losses. Understanding this threshold is crucial for anyone involved in law enforcement, legal professions, or even for civilians to be aware of the legal definitions that impact criminal charges in Delaware.
