“You better hope the car is full of gas and can go where we can never find you, because when we do you will spend a long time in jail."

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, referring to carjackers in a speech to the Legislature on Monday, Feb. 19, the first day of a crime-focused special session. Proposed legislation would impose tougher sentences for certain crimes that plague urban areas, including carjacking, which would carry an elevated minimum sentence of five years.
