I might be getting a ticket?
I might be getting a ticket?
What's up everybody-
so today after playing disk golf I took my ranger down behind the coarse and behind the park that's also there though an open gate and onto a dirt road that leads to some dirt jumps for bikes. I was drifting the corners and crawling on some small rocks and then decided to leave. On my way out a park host blocked me in and took down my license plate number and said he was reporting me for tresspassing and vandalism because I was out there driving. There were no sighns saying I couldn't be out there. What's the worst that can happen when/if he reports me? What do the police usually do? Am I getting panicked over nothing? Any answers will be apritiated.

Park it in the driveway and take the plate off it. I dunno about CA, but in MI, Officers have to see you commit a crime to ticket you for it. they may right you for a ticket, but its not like they're gonna take your truck away.
Awesome, I hope CA is the same way haha
Granola bar? what are you 15? throw a shoe at that ****.

Yea, I don't like those hippies. that one was sailing for the moon.
haha yeah thats pretty much it, and yes at least in PA you can't block gates because of emergency vehicles that may have to get in, and if the owner didn't have any signs up saying you can't go back there then thats his fault that you were back there
hey same thing happened to me in my truck. but im in fl.
i did things a little different but got in no trouble.
we got a place call errol where i live rich *** people live there and own the stuff. me and a few friends went in the dried up lake when they closed the gates on us. the guy came to us on a golf cart and told us we were traspassing. (no signs or anything) but he told us the cops where on the way and that we couldnt leave. so we waited for about 10min for him to turn his back, fired but the rangers and ran the gate over and left. about a week later a cop shows up at my house and asked about the stuff, told him i was out with my friends that night having a bonfire. all my friends said the same thing. (if they ask, say you were somewhere else. and have someone to back you up for it. 2 against one.) anyway. the cop then asked if we knew this guy and we all said ya. he was the one that yelled at us for having our music too loud. lol
no problems after that. and we still mud in that same dyed up lake

Yea i was going to say since when is it ok to trespass on private property? So you guys are saying since you dont have signs on your houses saying keep out then people can just come in when ever you want? If it was my land and i found you on it doing that (in missouri) you wouldnt have left untill the police took you away.
of course its different from state to state, but in va, in order to be charged for tresspassing you either have to have a bunch of no tresspassing signs or tell the person to leave (and if they dont, then they will be charged).
i've had something like that happen to me,except i went into a neigherhood with like 2-3 houses up at the lake and while i was leaving somebody that lived there blocked me in got my plate number and all,told me not to come back or he would call cops
I've done the exact same thing. they guy called the cops. a cop came there with his explorer drove around and said "as long as your being safe your allowed out here dont be stupid" it was a public park
Yeah I mean he can only swear out a warrant if he is the owner or authorized by the owner to do so. Also not sure how it works in CA but there has to be a posted sign up in order for them to arrest for trespassing or you have to be told to leave and then you dont leave. thats the only way. Also License Plate doesnt prove anything. he would have to have your name cause all you have to say is that someone borrowed your truck and there ya go case is shot. He doesnt have anything to prove you were there.
