Before I start, this isn't a "Fuck the police" thread. Its far from it, actually. I just need some input.



So today, me and group of friends walked around our neighborhoods and all that jazz going to various friends houses and such doing stuff if you will. We all thought it was a good idea to check out an abandoned house near a school. So why not? Its spring break and I've always wanted to try urban exploring. Anyways, We go inside it, look around, and a couple of us thought this is a sketchy house so we left it and hung around outside for the others to come.

A couple kids that were inside it thought it would be a smart idea to break shit and throw stuff out the windows. Apparently this old couple caught a glimpse of us leaving the house and saw the kids throwing and breaking shit in it. We had no idea that someone witnessed it so we go get some beverages. We come back, walk to our friends house and my friend gets a phonecall from his mom that the cops are at his house and we need to go talk to them. The kids (including me) that entered and quickly left the house to see what it was all about went and the kids that actually did damage left. My question is, Would I get charged or just cited? I know its most likely trespassing but since the other kids fled, would I and the other ones get in more trouble because of them?

+K to solid answers.

That's quite unfortunate my friend. I think if you explained to them exactly what happen and that you guys we just checking it out and didnt do anything then I think you should be fine. Your other friends who ran could get charged with trespassing or something like that. Good luck

Yeah. We told him we just went inside for little be to see what was inside and that the other kids who didn't come with us starting throwing stuff out the window. I complied with the cop and everything and stuff.

If you didn't break anything then you wont be in as much shit, but I would call the store and ask to keep the tape from that day to give you a definite location away from the house when shit was going down. but, if the tape is erased, try to get the cashier to say you where there.

I would say, the worst you could get was trespassing and possibly accessory to vandalism

Old couple apparently recognized one of the kids from church and called his parents.

You know what, I'm stoked you guys got caught, its fucks like you that ruin urban exploration for the rest of us. Breaking shit? Straight typical teenage selfishness. I don't care if it was you or not, you didn't do anything to stop it.

Sounds like you didn't do anything too serious. Honesty is always best, but at the same time, don't go ratting out your friends.

Yeah I'm an idiot for going in there. Teen angst and curiousity got a hold of me I guess. Lesson learned I guess.

nah, you could have gotten off scott free like the other kids. you're learning the wrong lesson.

you went and admitted everything to the cops. Youre innocent until proven guilty, or you admit the crime to a cop. You think some old lady saying she saw some punks would hold up at all?

Yeah I just talked to my friends that were with me. They said the cop let them go free of charge. Hopefully I'm in the same boat as them which I am. The other kids though are most likely fucked. I feel for them but they were the ones that really did something bad.

Were you there to actually witness and be present at the time where shit was thrown around? if so, it could be considered accessory.

No, no way your that fucking stupid..? Thats what you took from what I wrote? I'm pissed because you went into a place to 'explore' but decided just to trash the place and break shit. Im 100% for urban exploration, hell its my summertime hobby, but Im also 100% for not wrecking shit for other people. 

Ill put it in layman terms for you, I don't go to your park and hit the rails then destroy them do I? So why would you do that to other peoples property, forgotten or not.

wait so you named names? dont expect those friends to be your friends any longer.

why didnt you just say you were walking by and heard shit breaking in the house, looked in and saw some middle schoolers, told them to stop, and then got out of there quick so as to not have to deal with the cops?

so you threw your friends(you made it sound like they were your friends) under the bus, and possibly GAVE them charges on their record? what they did was stupid, and they quite frankly deserve whatever punishment they recieve, but damn.

You are a fuck BAD friend...seriously, you just dont give a fuck about your friends apparently. Im wondering what your thought process was when you told the cops the names of your friends?

im honestly wondering though what your thought process was when the cop asked what happened? and then you proceeded to say, " i didnt do nothing, but jimmy johnson, and timmay smith trashed the place".

a simple white lie would have protected you and your friends. instead, im guessing you thought that telling the truth would give YOU the best shot at getting off scott free. Why not think about how to help your homies out? you protected yourself at the expense of your friends.

that was a seriously bitch made move, i hope you learn from it.

and you shouldnt have that mentality, the cops are there to help people. you also shouldnt have a knee jerk reaction to throw friends under the bus to get yourself off. Actions speak louder than words, and the fact that you volutarily sold out friends speaks pretty damn loud. Its the principal of it. glad you guys got off though.

wish cops did shit here, i got suckerd twice last night by a group of idoits (some go to my highschool) but long story short 4 cars full of guys vs me and my friend trying to stick up for a friend of ours at her get together and keep her house from getting fucked up (same group of kids have consistantly assulted and broken windows of the poeple who wouldnt let them into various parties). anyways i get punched twice and my buddie gets punched once, friends sister gets hit with a tennis raquet (i know who the fuck has one of thos as a wepon) and friends mom gets spit on. call the cops, they show up and dont give two shits, dont even take statements and leave.

I can only tell you what not to do. Don't go talk to the cops, get them all relaxed so they let their guard down and then BAM, knee in the balls. That was one lesson I had to learn the hard way.

If I were exploring a house with some of my friend and a couple of them decided to be dumbasses and start breaking shit, I'd tell them straight up that if the cops get called you 2 dipshits are taking the blame for everything thats broken.

and if they were your homies, they would take the blame if it came down to that. but what is fucked up is that a simple white lie - we saw some middle schoolers do it- could have cleared everyone. The issue of charges/fines etc. hadnt even been mentioned and Theron immidiatly threw his friends name out there. IDK about you, but i try and protect my friends. thats not tto say that ii wouldnt "rat them out" if it came down to me or them being charged for shit they did.
