In New Jersey it’s an indictable crime which compares to felonies in other states.
2C:18-3
Unlicensed entry of structures; defiant trespasser; peering into dwelling places; defenses.
The offense is a crime of the fourth degree if it is committed in a dwelling. An offense under this section is a crime of the fourth degree if it is committed in a research facility, power generation facility, waste treatment facility

"Peering into dwelling places?" As in, voyeurism?
"Defiant trespasser?" That's... different.
And I thought Texas had weird statutes!
By the way, I had some legal issues of my own recently and my trespassing charge was enhanced to "trespass of a habitation (which I'm assuming is legally synonymous with "dwelling)," which made it a class A misdemeanor even though the home had been vacant for several years and destined to be demolished once the property sold. I doubt it happens too often, but if they really want to throw the book at you, the dwelling/habitation doesn't always have to be lived in at the time. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

They can bone you hard in NJ if want too and nail you with state trespassing and/or loitering.
If they're in a nice mood they might make it municipal trespass; roughly the same as a misdemeanor.
Also agricultural trespassing, which is about the same as a felony as well.

Well it goes to superior court if it’s a indictable crime which is anything over a misdemeanor. Anything that’s a misdemeanor goes to municipal court. I doubt they’ll add on loitering when they’re charging you with a 3rd/4th degree crime. Indictable crimes that aren’t serious offenses almost always get lowered to municipal by the AP.

Defiant is if you’re on the property around a place. Criminal trespassing is if you’re inside somewhere. Not every criminal is serious but it depends on if you’re in a house, school, research facility and so on. And yes, they mean voyeurism haha

You would know better, but I thought defiant trespass was if the property was posted, or if the subject was told to leave and refused or returned? I was charged with defiant trespass when I got popped at Overbrook and we were caught inside.

Give abandonment a reason for its sacrificial reclamation to nature. Love it. Remember it. Take a picture. Share it. Leave the decay to nature.

Let me rephrase that. If you’re caught inside an inhabited house or certain types of properties it’s criminal. Anything abandoned or that isn’t listed as a 4th degree is defiant. Defiant is basic trespassing.
The cop can also charge you with burglary in some cases, especially if the person is being an asshole.

They were real pissed at first; charged me with state loitering and trespassing.
It wasn't until the Lt looked it over that things started to level out. They released me a few hours latter... they didn't have to do that.
Talked with the police chief for close to 30 minutes a week latter.
It was with his intervention that the prosecutor dropped down the charges to municipal. Still cost me somewhere around $650 in fines alone.
However didn't need a lawyer and not on my record.
I caused them a -lot- of trouble.
Good as it gets.
They could also charged me with agricultural trespass; my shit was weak.
Being calm, compliant and using effective communication when appropriate can go a long way with LEOs.
Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in.
