I want to know the maximum sentence for robbing a taxi. There are five of them.

1) According to the provisions of Article 263 of the Criminal Law, robbery is an act of forcibly seizing public or private property on the spot by violence, coercion or other means for the purpose of illegal possession. The violent act of robbery refers to the act of beating or coercing the victim's body and robbing others' property for the purpose of excluding the victim's resistance. Other methods mean that the perpetrator uses methods other than violence or coercion to make the victim unaware or unable to resist. Any natural person who has reached the age of 14 and has criminal responsibility can constitute the subject of robbery.

Article 263 also stipulates the sentencing standards for robbery:

Whoever robs public or private property by violence, coercion or other means shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined; Under any of the following circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years, life imprisonment or death, and shall also be fined or confiscated:

Burglary;

(2) Robbery on public transport;

(3) robbing banks or other financial institutions;

(4) Robbery for many times or the amount of robbery is huge;

(5) Robbery causes serious injury or death;

(six) posing as military and police personnel to rob;

(7) Armed robbery;

(eight) robbing military supplies or emergency rescue, disaster relief and relief supplies.

To sum up, the benchmark punishment for robbery is fixed-term imprisonment of more than three years and less than ten years, but in some serious circumstances, it will be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of more than ten years, life imprisonment or death.

2) The penalty for robbing a taxi is large, which should be comprehensively considered in combination with the amount of robbery and the losses caused to the victim.
