| | | Oh, oh, oh, I have a few for you! I have heard some people say that in certain states (Massachusetts in particular) there is no distinction between trespassing, and breaking and entering. So even if you just walked in an open door, or through an already broken window (and don't have intent to commit any further crimes while inside) you can still be charged with breaking and entering. I am skeptical of A. Whether this is actually true, and B. if it's actually true, is it really enforced this way in practice? I've also heard that in South Carolina, before 6 PM, any truly abandoned building is considered "public property", and you can't be charged with trespassing. Is this true? Enforced this way in practice? And I've heard that in Tennessee, exploring storm drains is actually legal, as they're considered "public waterways". Is this true? Enforced this way in practice? Sorry for so many questions, I know you probably can't give definitive answers to all of them, but I'd be interested to hear what you have to say. Also, just to clarify, so you're a new cop? I'm not familiar with the term "policy enforcement".

| | | Well, I am not a cop (nor do I play one on TV), but studying about it. Since I do not have the same restrictions, might I step in and offer what advice I can? Posted by LuminousAphid I have one... We're going to play a wonderful game called 'Who is your daddy, and what does he do?' (I noticed your signature haha I couldn't resist) But in all seriousness, I don't know if you have any insight into these; Is it more up to the officer to decide whether to press charges, or is it up to the owner of the property? How strong of a deterrent for a lazy officer is the paperwork for processing a trespassing citation? How about something more serious? Is there much likelihood of an officer trumping up charges and arresting an explorer for B and E in order to pad his arrest resume?
| To answer your questions: 1. Both can. The police have more discretion, but the owner can usually press them. 2. Paperwork is paperwork. If it is a minor offense, they'll likely let you off with a warning, depending on your attitude. Something more serious, or when a property owner calls, they'll more likely act, because they have the paperwork to do anyway. 3. The only reason a police officer may trump up the charges is for plea reasons. If it is not a strong case, they may use it to get you to plea. But it's still doubtful, because it's additional paperwork and more work to prove it.
