California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Dollar, 228 Cal.App.3d 1335, 279 Cal.Rptr. 502 (Cal. App. 1991):
General intent crimes proscribe particular acts. For such crimes, reference is usually not made to the actor's intent to achieve a further act or a future consequence concerning the restricted action. (See People v. Lopez (1986) 188 Cal.App.3d 592, 598, 233 Cal.Rptr. 207.) The accompanying intent to accomplish a further act is inherent in making an offense a specific intent crime. (People v. Daniels (1975) 14 Cal.3d 857, 861, 122 Cal.Rptr. 872, 537 P.2d 1232.)
