Simplified Explanation of Michigan Penal Code Section 750.157p

This part of the Michigan Penal Code is about the unauthorized possession or control of someone else's financial transaction device (like credit or debit cards). Here's a simpler explanation:

If someone has another person's financial transaction device (such as a credit or debit card) in their possession or control, or if they receive such a device from another person, and they intend to use, deliver, distribute, or sell the device, they are committing a felony, a serious crime. This also applies if they allow, cause, or arrange for the device to be used, delivered, distributed, or sold.

The important point is that the person knows they are doing this without the permission of the rightful owner of the device (the person to whom the device was issued). If they are aware of this and still proceed, then they're breaking the law and could be found guilty of a felony under Michigan law.

When this guy says he's a BOSS Attorney he really means it, he got a case dismissed for me when another reputable attorney told me I was getting two points no matter what. Randy went in the prosecuting attorneys office like a boss and came out with a dismissal, Thanks for living up to your name. This man is a LIVING LEGEND!

I am a family law attorney (and do not handles the same types of matters as Randy), but I know Randy well enough to make this recommendation. I endorse Attorney Randy Babi without hesitation.
