my friend was gone and me and a mutual friend entered his house through the garage because he has told us the code. We needed to use his wireless internet and mine was down at my house. His father has since gone to the police and i want to know what might happen. I'm a kid so I'm really freaking and could use some good answers or help.
Answer:
Many things can and may or not happen. First you can be charged with unlawful entrance, trustpassing, stealing services and a few other charges. Hopefully the police will have a strong talk with you. Except that you were wrong don't blame the son or daughter. Extend an written appology to the father by mail this may help coold the issue. Tell the father you understand why he was so upset now. Offer to do something to gain his trust again like yard work or something show him you desire to please him. The friend probably can not speak up against his father and even if he did Dad is the ruler of the household.
Should you end up in court tell the judge the same thing that you are sorry and did not mean any harm.
It would be nice if the friend has ever told you that you could just use the code and help yourself to the cumputer to the judge. What ever you do don't put lies or pressure on your friend the judge will see right through this and no matter if that is the truth is going to side with the dad. Keep your friendship with your friend strong as possible somethimes this will help your friend to talk to Dad and drop everything.
I hope you have told your parents so they know what happened if not good to do it before the police tell them. You don't want them to get a summons for their and your appearance in court. They may need a lawyer so prepare them .
B%26E, if you did not have permission.
Well thats breaking and entering ur parents will have to appear in court for you since u r a kid and will probably have to pay a big fine
You need to go to the police to make statement. Take a parent with you. It would be constructive if mutual friend-2 also with parent went to police about the same time.
Talk with parent before going to police.
Ask parent to ask on your behalf, what is wrong with friend-1 giving permission to enter the house then father of friend-1 revoking this and going to the police about it ... if anyone should be in trouble it should be friend-1 for causing this problem that the father is now exploiting . both friend-1 and the father should be facing charges for making a false police report.
The police might not buy that, which is why parent should make the arguement, not you.
Friend-1 gave you the code to enter the house, gave you permission to enter the house. You were not aware that friend-1 did not have permission from Friend-1 father to give such permission to you. You suggest that perhaps the Father should get the code changed and instruct Friend-1 not to give the code out any more.
Actually ignorance is not an excuse in the law, but sometimes juveniles are given more leeway ... there may be some things you are not expected to know, like this family with friend-1 and father of friend-1 have some kind of problem, maybe a mental problem.
If you have any witnesses to the fact that friend-1 gave you the code to the house, and the conditions under which it was given, ask them to make a statement to the police also, and also you give their names to the police as witnesses, that you were setup, framed, ambushed by the father.
Once you have the police knowing that friend-1 did in fact give you this code permission, then ask your parent to give friend-1 father a good talking to for getting you and mutual friend-2 in trouble for something that friend-1 gave permission for.
In theory, you are guilty of breaking and entering, like burglary, but friend-1 was an accessory before the fact ... if the police arrest you, at every opportunity give the name of friend-1 as having given you access to the hose ... I think this will rapidly lead to friend-1 father backing down and trying to get any charges dropped.
For the future ... you have permission to go to some home that the adults who run the home give you permission to go to ... you as a minor cannot give permission to people to go into your home unless your parents have given that permission, likewise your friends cannot do so either.
There also can be limited permission ... where you can go there, but there are limitations on what you can do there.
If you entered with permission -- especially if that permission was as formal as being given an access code -- then you probably are not subject to any criminal penalties.
So, what you need to worry about most is your parents.
