Ok my problem is that I am being accused of traspassing and entering into sumone's property and taking a digital camera and $400 ( which in reality was only $75, but the homeowners are claiming it as more, bastards) . Along with me was a friend of mine, I believe that we can't get charged for breaking and entering because we did not enter into the house for the backdoor was open wide, therefore we din't break in. I already returned the digital camera, but the owners want there "$400" dollars back, which I do not have because in reality it was only $75 ( which my friend kept)!! So the home owners said they're going to file a police report, I am a minor and this is my first offense. I live in California, what's the worst or least thing that I can get charged for??
-thanks

Ok, each state has "names" for thier laws, in some states it would be criminal tresspass, others it would be theft 2 or 3, in others it is called breaking and entering,
Normally it does not require physcial "breaking" the breaking is a idea of beaking the invisible area, you can climb in a open window. Also it will be your word that the door is open most likely and do you really believe the court will beleive you ???
also many aspects of the crime will be merely accepted as fact, you had the items, it appears they have evidence you took the item.
You can in court challenge the value,
so yes you pay them back, in an agreement not to press charges, you will get off alot cheaper, the fine alone will be more than 400 dollars. And you would be on probation at least if you don't and have to pay all the fines and pay back for the cameral.

Well if they didnt file a police report on u yet. then if i were u i would just pay them the $400 than having them file a report and having it as ur first offense. If they already did, o wells ur outta luck. It shouldve not had happened if u hadnt transpassed in the first place. Looks like ur gonna have to make up a story or somethin the best u can to back your self up before u go 2 court and tell them the u didnt admit to the owners u did it or just be honest and admit guilt. Thats wat can happen and i dont noe bout the least they can do when u get charged.

You are pretty much SOL. You already confessed to the owners, so if and when they present the charges there is no way you can back down. The $400 is harder to prove, it is naysay.
As for your friend, who gives a crap? You are the one in trouble. Next time use your head, somebody could have been siting inside the house with a handgun or a shotgun and you could had been killed.

I find it amazing that so many of the kids on here are criminals.
Your rationalization of your behavior indicates that you either believe or are trying to convince yourself that you did nothing wrong.
With that attitude I would suggest you get the maximum penalty.
If you REALLY don't believe you did something wrong, then you need to ask for help; unless you fix this thinking you will end up in jail eventually.
On the other hand, if you know you did wrong and are merely playing the American "evade the responsiblity" game, then admit what you did and accept the penalty.

Uh, it doesn't matter if the door was wide open; that's breaking and entering. You shouldn't have done that in the first place. Why did you do this anyway? How would you feel if someone came into your home and took something that was of value?
I don't know how long but this might come off as a nasty scar on your record. Good luck finding a job that would overlook it.

Burglary defined: "The unauthorized entry of an inhabited dwelling for the purpose of committing a theft or felony therein."
Even though the back door was unlocked, open, ajar, whatever, your entry was still unauthorized. Juvenile offenders receive the same attention in the courts as adults, but the sentences (if guilt is determined) are usually different. The state statutes of your state would list the maximum penalties for the crime(s) you are accused of.
