Trespassing Penalties

When an individual is charged with only trespassing and there are no other crimes associated with it then it is regarded as a misdemeanor charge. For such a crime the possible penalties can range from monetary fines, to probation and community service. If a person is a first time offender, then he/she may be charged a relatively lower fine. According to Massachusetts law a criminal charge of trespassing can result in up to 30 days of imprisonment or a fine of up to $100 or in some cases or in both of them. In criminal trespassing cases, however, there are several other factors that play a significant role such as whether the person has previous criminal record or not and in what circumstances the trespassing law was violated.

Instead he/she had entered in a private property by mistake.
