They wouldn't be charging him with a more severe charge if they didnt have reason for it and couldnt make the charge stick. If he just wandered in somewhere drunk by accident they wouldn't go with a more severe charge because it wouldn't have him plead down, they would fight to have the charges dropped, and if they cant prove the higher charge, the police cant then say they will lower the charge.

Yes, no one has ever been over charged in the history of law enforcement.

Colorado Law FWIW

 

 

 

1. What is criminal trespass in Colorado?

1.1. First degree trespass -- 18-4-502 C.R.S.

18-4-502 C.R.S. provides:

A person commits the crime of first degree criminal trespass if such person knowingly and unlawfully enters or remains in a dwelling of another or if such person enters any motor vehicle with intent to commit a crime therein.

The keys to first degree trespass are:

  • The property is someone's home, or
  • The property is someone's motor vehicle and you are entering it to commit a crime (such as auto theft).

Because these are places in which people are likely to be present, this is the most serious form of trespassing.

Note that the vehicle does not need to be locked for you to be charged with first degree trespass. Even entering the open bed of a pick-up truck is enough if your intent is to commit a crime in the vehicle.

  • Example: While her UPS driver is delivering packages in the building, Allie climbs into the back of the truck, intending to steal some packages. Because she enters the vehicle intending to commit a crime (theft), she is guilty of first degree trespass.

 

2. Colorado trespassing penalties

2.1. First degree trespass

Under 18-4-502 C.R.S., first degree criminal trespass is a Colorado class 5 felony.

Consequences of first degree trespass can include:

  • 1-3 years in prison, and/or
  • A fine of $1,000-$100,000.

 

So he sat on the tailgate of some snooty snobs.

I wonder if someone is unlawfully in a dwelling if he/she refuses to leave when asked to do so?

 

Shady thinks so ;)

If chad had illegally entered our houses, I can imagine most of us would have welcomed him in and told him: “wish we would have drafted you”

Chad should have stuck with the good, old fashioned, flower. He wouldn't have left the couch. 

The synthetic weed really screws you up! 

Especially since the real stuff is legal in Colorado
