I am currently attending a certain university in Pennsylvania. The university does not have many parking areas. I had a friend come to the university, and park outside my residence hall. I then looked on the university website for the regulations regarding visitor parking, and posted online (as part of a campus map) was a parking permit. So, I printed it out and hung it in the windshield of my friend's van. However, we soon received a phone call from the police saying that they were at the van and because it is a "fake" permit, we were being charged with Theft of Services, a criminal charge. My question is, I did not technically forge any permits, and honestly thought the permit printed out would be enough to let us park there for an hour or two (at which point we were going to move it), so can I be charged with Theft of Services instead of just a simple parking ticket?
