The injunction may cover the victim, and where the victim may frequent, the victim's friends and relatives and the victim's belongings and household. If someone recklessly kills another person, he is guilty of Manslaughter. If he recklessly injures another person, he is guilty of either Assault or Aggraveted Assault, depending on how much injury he causes. If, however, he engages in the exact same conduct, but no one is hurt or killed, he cannot be charged with any crime, because Utah dies not currently have a reckless endangerment statute. A person who engaged in conduct that creates a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury should not entirely escape prosecution based solely upon the fortuity that the foreseeable harm did not occur.
Reckless endangerment is a class A misdemeanor.
As a prank, a person pulls over a stop sign at a busy intersection. A citizen calls the police after he does not see the sign and almost collides with another car. A person possesses volatile and hazardous substances in his hotel room for use in manufacturing methamphetamine, endangering the health and safety of other guests and hotel staff. A person builds explosive devices in his apartment, devices which are volatile and could be set off by static electricity, bumping or overheating. This legislation plugs the gap that existed in the law by providing that a person is guilty of Reckless Endangerment if he recklessly engages in conduct that creates a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury to another.
