Is "jumping the fence" a serious crime?

The law is the law, and crossing the border illegally is a crime.

Technically no, but I would ask, it may depend upon your personal situation, severity and nature of your crime.

Its a crime against the State-to go against the State is a crime against the country-Treason.\nIt includes many civil-trespassing-disorderly-       fraud  and a hundred others.

You may restrain and (citizens) arrest a person you have witnessed committing a serious crime, only if doing so will prevent the subject from causing serious bodily harm or death to himself or others or to protect property (you catch a burglar in your house).  I don't think littering counts.  You may find yourself answering to assault and unlawful imprisonment charges.  You may however report the litterer and serve as witness.\nOn the other hand, if you witness a person throw a lit cigarette out the window of a moving vehicle and said cigarette starts a fire on your property, then you may consider taking action if you feel the police will not be able to arrive in time.  Proceed with extreme caution and use common sense.

It's a crime to earn money legally, isn't it?

I think that many more people fantasize about illegal acts than actually do those things. In this, the Internet seems like a safe place to allow those fantasies some room. But for some of those people 'playing' at it, it starts to seem more and more possible. And their fantasies start to cross the line from mental games to actual crimes.\n\nI don't think it should be a crime for some poor slob who is otherwise a straight arrow to flirt with a 45 year old vigilante posing as a 13 year old. And I do think any 13 year old who actually flirts with an on-line predator has some measure of guilt also.

No, it's not illegal.  It's only illegal if you are wanted for questioning in a crime relating to a baseball bat.  You're safe otherwise.

I don't think what you did was a crime unless you specifically threatened someone with bodily harm.  Anyway I don't think they will take away your on-line privileges unless it was a hacking offense

not if you dont mind going to jail. Its a promise to answer the charge, not an admission of anything.

Probably, but it's a criminal activity isn't it now...?

Well you are trespassing and if the owner feels that charges should be pressed I don't believe you would face serious charges just a warning not to return to the property.

Maybe not, but it can turn into a crime when somebody gets shot over something silly.

It's a good question. Thanks to discretion though, it'll never happen. At school the other day, I jaywalked, but the Uinversity Police Officer right there didn't care. When I join the force, if I see somebody going 5 miles over the speed limit, unless they're in front of something like a school, or church, or daycare, I won't stop them, and if I do, I'd just give them a warning. \n\nTo answer your question, you wouldn't necissarily be in jail a lot, you'd just go bankrupt. The crimes committed by average citizens are really on minor law infractions, punishible by fine.

Its actually called "stupid". If he/she were caught it would be a misdemernor at best.\nIt isn't vandalism if no damage was done, it isn't "intent to do harm" proving intend is a real stretch. \nA snow ball isn't like a rock. If that were the case snow ball throwing would be considered an act of violence. Then it wouldn't matter if you throw it at a car or just a person.

No. But there is a new box arrest brace coming out. Because their "homes" come and go with the wind. This devise chains their home to their feet, that way they never leave their box and people could see that they're criminals.
