Chances are if you are charged with trespassing, you will also have other charges included, which can make the cost of the trespass quite high. The misdemeanor of trespassing by itself carries a penalty of up to six months in county jail and/or a $1,000 fine. Trespassing with a firearm, or other deadly weapon, is a class B felony, and trespassing with a camera is a gross misdemeanor, which carries a penalty of up to a year in jail, and/or a fine of up to $2,000.
Regardless of the circumstances, entanglement with the criminal justice system is not something that most people want, and even if the fine is light, the criminal act remains on your record, which can complicate background checks used to qualify for employment or credit.
