About this app

Carolina Crime Codex is the fastest way to look up North Carolina criminal statutes — built for law enforcement officers, attorneys, paralegals, and criminal justice students who need accurate statute information in seconds, not minutes.

🔍 POWERFUL SEARCH
Search over 4,600 NC General Statutes from Chapters 14, 15, 19, 20, 21, 75D, and 90. Type plain English, legal terms, abbreviations, or even slang — the search engine understands all of it. Search for "B&E" and get Breaking and Entering. Search "weed" and get marijuana possession statutes. Misspell "assalt" and still get Assault results. No other NC statute app does this.

⚖️ STRUCTURED CRIME ELEMENTS
Every criminal offense is broken down into its provable elements — the specific facts a prosecutor must establish. See actus reus, mens rea, attendant circumstances, and result elements laid out clearly. This is the information officers need for probable cause and attorneys need for case prep, organized the way the courtroom actually works.

🏷️ CLASSIFICATION & PENALTIES
Instantly see whether an offense is a Felony, Misdemeanor, or Infraction with color-coded badges. View punishment classifications and penalty ranges at a glance.
