perhaps they shouldn't have driven this to the factory:

THis too would have been a bad choice:
-
What difference does the car make? They were arrested for break & enter as well as theft, not for "ghost hunting".

Someone's sense of humor must be in the shop.... :P

To cover all court costs, they could always set up an account..
Name: ANDY
Account Number: 777

So, no one thinks that the real reason they were arrested was the B+E and theft of alcohol before they broke into that factory?
-
Just some crazy kids.... Hope they don't get into too much trouble.
-
what's the point of trying to catch ghosts? if the bacteria and mold from the old factory/house doesn't kill you, the crazy kidnapper who lives there will.

This thread should have been called "Ghostbusters Busted". I'm kind of ashamed that you didn't think of that Mission. No bacon for you.

Once your 'crazy kids' step into felony land, they deserve the full prosecution of the law. Crazy kids may be smoking up behind the factory, or setting fire in the dumpster. Breaking and entering into a live business (the place next door), burglarly (stealing the alcohol), and then breaking and entering into the factory, are all adult crimes. The first two at least are felonies and the third may be as well.

You are right. The law has been broken. But if this simply involves a couple of kids off their face on Blackberrynipp for the first time and prior to this event they have been model kids never in trouble before, I don't feel their lives should be destroyed due to one stupid mistake. They know they did wrong, give them some community service that stuffs up their social lives (weekends) for a couple of months, give them time to think and then let it be.
To do anything else will result in a bunch of kids having to serve time around real bad-ass dudes and then have to pay back expensive lawyer fees after they serve their time. This combination and the added pressure of a convicted felon trying to find work produces a desperate person who will then do society much more harm over their lifespan.
Subject to the crime, first time offenders come to a cross road of right or wrong. The path they take will usually be the one for life. The system needs to allow them to choose the right road, not be forced in desperation to take the wrong road.
Everyone should be entitled to one stupid mistake or one poor judgement once in their lives (within reason). Once the offender repeats, this is when I agree with you - full prosecution of the law. At this stage the wrong road has already clearly and consciously been selected. :police:

First time offenders never go to jail. If they get a reasonable lawyer, and show contrition, they get community service. That is the the chance you're talking about. You do not let them off without a prosecution, as they DID DO it, THERE ARE consequences to their committing the crimes. Letting them off just tells most people that they have burned one strike, let's see how many more they can get before the real penalties kick in.
The law is even set up this way: one stupid mistake, it goes on your record and you do community service. Two and you go on probation. Three and you go to jail.
