Legal Questions
Can anyone direct me to some information on Breaking and Entering?
I gather that there are different "levels" of B & E that you can be convicted for, and that usually its a charge that's paired with burglary...
So my questions are:
legal defintion,
maximum sentence,
and finally:
if you're just discovered in a building, but you didn't BREAK anything to get in -- is it just trespassing?
And surely the maximum penalty for trespassing is just a fine, right?
You know the scene in The Royal Tenenbaums where Richie & Margot spend the night in the museum...
Doesn't that seem like an amazing experience to have?
And I've been thinking: I'm at the point in life where I should just stop avoiding being arrested. It just doesn't feel like a very real deterrent to me anymore.
Legal websites would be welcome...

Breaking & entering and burglary probably have slightly different meanings in different states. Criminal trespassing (at least in Maine) can result in time behind bars.
Just for the record, criminal speeding (30 miles over the posted speed limit) is a really exciting way to get arrested.
Remember if your in trouble and need help, you can always contact the agressive (real estate) lawyers at Phillips & Bernier, LLC.

There is no place better to look for legal advice than posted advertisements from aggressive firms in Maine.
how can you even be trespassing if it is not posted private property? If it were a museum, or any other public building, don't you have the right to be there. Don't you pay taxes?
