CALCRIM No. 1705

The defendant is charged [in Count] with unlawful entry of a

vehicle [in violation of Penal Code section 465].

To prove that the defendant is guilty of this crime, the People must

prove that:

1. The defendant forcibly entered a vehicle;

AND

2. When (he/she) entered the vehicle, (he/she) intended to commit

(theft/ [or] <insert one or more felonies>).

Forcibly entered means gaining entry through the use of a tool or device

that manipulates the vehicle’s locking mechanism[including (a slim jim

or other lockout tool[,]/a shaved key, jiggler key, or lock pick[,]/[or] an

electronic device such as a signal extender),] or through the use of force

that damages the exterior of the vehicle[including (breaking a

window[,]/ cutting a convertible top[,]/ punching a lock[,]/[or] prying

open a door)].

To decide whether the defendant intended to commit (theft/ [or]

<insert one or more felonies>), please refer to the separate

instructions that I (will give/have given) you on (that/those) crime[s].

An unlawful entry was committed if the defendant forcibly entered with

the intent to commit (theft/[or] <insert one or more

felonies>). The defendant does not need to have actually committed

(theft/[or] <insert one or more felonies>) as long as (he/she)

entered with the intent to do so. [The People do not have to prove that

the defendant actually committed (theft/[or] <insert one or

more felonies>).]

[The People allege that the defendant intended to commit (theft/[or]

<insert one or more felonies>). Y ou may not find the

defendant guilty of unlawful entry of a vehicle unless you all agree that

(he/she) intended to commit one of those crimes at the time of the entry.

Y ou do not all have to agree on which one of those crimes (he/she)

intended.]
