Within the terrorism subsection of Chapter 202, there are specific definitions that apply to determine if you violated any Nevada laws. One such definition is found in Nevada Revised Statute section 202.4415. According to N.R.S. 202.4415, an act of terrorism is any action that involves the use of sabotage, coercion or violence or that involves the attempted use of sabotage, coercion, or violence, with the intent to:
• Cause substantial bodily harm to the general population
• Cause death to the general population
• Cause substantial destruction, contamination, or impairment of any building or infrastructure
• Cause substantial destruction, contamination, or impairment of any natural resource
• Cause substantial destruction, contamination, or impairment of the environment
• Cause substantial destruction, contamination, or impairment of any communications, transportation, utilities, or services
Nick Wooldridge has a long track record of representing clients accused of serious federal and state crimes in Nevada.
However, the statute also makes clear that the definition of coercion for purposes of N.R.S. 202.4415 does not include acts of civil disobedience.
This definition is important because other statutes within the terrorism subsection of Chapter 202 impose penalties for acts of terrorism. For example, N.R.S. 202.445 stipulates that no person should commit acts of terrorism, cause acts of terrorism, provide material support for acts of terrorism, or aid terrorists involved in acts of terrorism.
The offense of involvement with acts of terrorism is a Category A felony, according to N.R.S. 202.445. The specific penalties that can occur as a result of conviction for committing an act of terrorism will vary depending upon the circumstances. For example, knowingly or intentionally committing or causing an act of terrorism could result in imprisonment with or without the possibility of parole, with eligibility for parole beginning after a designated period of time.
