Break and Enter Help?
My son was charged with this he is a minor.
He entered an unlocked storage shed, the door was open.
According to the police entering is the same as breaking in.
I can not find this as a definition anywhere.
Does anyone else think entering an unlocked open door is the same as breaking into a building.
Would this not be more likely trespassing?
There were no signs posted.
It was a storage shed at a baseball diamond.
he entered yes but touched nothing,
and left.
the door was wide open and he says he was curious, because he had never seen the inside before.
I just thought the charge break and enter did’nt fit the offence.
OK mom. First of all don’t make excuses for your son and let him suffer the consequences of his actions. Second, each State had it’s own laws and each of those laws has certain criteria that must be met in order to charge a person with that crime. In Alabama there must be intent to commit another crime within that building in order for it to be a burglary (breaking and entering). If that intent can’t be proven then the appropriate charge would be some degree of criminal tresspass. And by the way, the lack of a posting of a sign does not give anyone carte blanche to enter a building. Hope it works out for you but most of all I hope he learns from his mistake.
