New penalties for following cash-theft targets
Beginning July 1, 2026, Tennessee adds legal protection for cash-theft targets and new penalties for people who follow them. The crime requires knowingly following someone from a commercial business, financial institution, or ATM with intent to steal their cash. The person must follow the same route without a major change and possess at least two criminal instruments. These are items possessed, used, made, designed, or adapted for crimes under Title 39, Chapter 13, Part 10, or § 39-14-103. Financial institution has the meaning given in § 45-11-102. The new crime is generally a Class A misdemeanor. It becomes a Class D felony when the person also violates Title 39, Chapter 13, Part 10 during the crime. It becomes a Class B felony when the person also violates Title 39, Chapter 13, Part 4 during the crime.
