PROTECTION OF GOVERNMENT PROPERTY &#8212; PROTECTION OF PUBLIC RECORDS AND DOCUMENTS<br>The taking of a public record or document is prohibited by 18 U.S.C. \u00a7 641. The destruction of such records may be reached under 18 U.S.C. \u00a7 1361. In both instances, however, proving a $100 loss, the prerequisite to a felony conviction, may be difficult. Thus, neither of these statutes adequately protects government records.<\/p>\n<p>The necessary measure of protection for government documents and records is provided by 18 U.S.C. \u00a7 2071. Section 2071(a) contains a broad prohibition against destruction of government records or attempts to destroy such records. This section provides that whoever: willfully and unlawfully; conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates or destroys; or attempts to conceal, remove, mutilate, obliterate or destroy; or carries away with intent to conceal, remove, mutilate, obliterate or destroy; any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document or other thing deposited in any public office may be punished by imprisonment for three years, a $2, 000 fine, or both.<\/p>\n<p>Subsection (b) of 18 U.S.C. \u00a7&nbsp;2071 contains a similar prohibition specifically directed at custodians of public records. Any custodian of a public record who &#8220;willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys (any record) shall be fined not more than $2,000 or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.&#8221; While the range of acts proscribed by this subsection is somewhat narrower than subsection (a), it does provide the additional penalty of forfeiture of position with the United States.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"74ihb\" data-offset-key=\"3295q-0-0\">\n<div data-offset-key=\"3295q-0-0\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"cs7g5\" data-offset-key=\"3dt79-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"3dt79-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"3dt79-0-0\">#SeditiousConspiracy<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"cs7g5\" data-offset-key=\"3aq9c-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"3aq9c-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"3aq9c-0-0\">https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/18\/2384<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"cs7g5\" data-offset-key=\"29pud-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"29pud-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"29pud-0-0\">If two or more persons in any State, or any place subject to jurisdiction of USA, conspire to overthrow the Government, or oppose by force authority thereof, prevent, hinder, or delay execution of any law, shall be fined or imprisoned<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"cs7g5\" data-offset-key=\"3funn-0-0\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/uscode.house.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/uscode.house.gov\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The <b>United<\/b> <b>States<\/b> <b>Code<\/b> is a consolidation and codification by subject matter of the general and permanent laws of the <b>United<\/b> <b>States<\/b>.
