§ 1673 Attempted Crimes Punishment
This law says that if you try to do a crime, you can be punished, and for certain crimes (those listed in sections 1670 and 1671) the punishment can be 2‑4 years in jail, a fine up to $10,000, or both.
Alex plans to break into a neighbor's house and even picks the lock, but the police catch him before he gets inside.
Even though Alex never actually broke in, his attempt to commit the burglary is a crime under this law, so he can be sentenced to jail, a fine, or both. If the burglary was one of the crimes listed in sections 1670 or 1671, the jail time could be 2, 3, or 4 years.
