| | | Posted by metawaffle I don't know about anyone else, but I've certainly found that where I draw the line has shifted significantly over the years. I'm probably not the only person who looks back at their high-and-mighty attitudes of times past, and chuckles somewhat.

^ Yup. My current ethical system is based around "Try not to screw it up for other explorers." This manifests in a few ways: - Try to put things back the way you found them if you can - Break as a last resort, and then try not to make the entrance too obvious for non-explorers. - Try not to break things that'll piss of the owner, thus increasing security - Only take what won't be missed (eg, a bobby pin from a pile of them, a mug from an open case of them, or something from a place about to be demolished) Of course, these are guidelines, as every situation is different.

| | | Since everyone forgets every six months: In the united states b&e refers to "breaking" the perimeter of the building or entering. It gets complicated, but if you push a cracked door open wider, that is b&e.

And in maryland it's automatically a 4th degree burglary because b&e doesn't exist.

| | | Yeah most states define burglary as entering any structure. Its doesn't matter if you broke in or walked in an open door, if you're inside a building you're not supposed to be in, they can charge you with burglary. That hardly ever happens, but the letter of the law says nothing about how you get in. Trespassing is usually entering property or land without permission, rather than a building.
What are my ethics? Any means necessary.

| | | I dunno too much about international laws but as far as cops here are concerned "break and enter" doesn't mean that you have to beak anything. They define it as breaking the seal of a building. Think about it, opening a window, door, whatever. Thankfully I've never really had an issue and security here are pretty powerless to stop you unless they see you about to commit a major crime like murder. Other than that the best they can do is tell you to fuck off. They don't have the power to arrest you and if you aren't under arrest they cant detain you. Win!

Indeed! Cop: So, you opened the door and just went inside? Me: Oh, the door was already open, I just walked in. ...some more discussion... Cop: Did the door open easily, or was it stuck? Me: The door was open when I arrived. ...and so on...
(Needless to say, I had opened the door )

| | | I would personally would have no problems into breaking into a building if time/strength/stealth/tools permitted, but you bet that once you've done something like that, you're taking much more risks in the event that the police catch wind of it. I guess it depends on the area. I wouldn't have a second thought of busting a pad lock in a building somewhere out of of town, compared to a building inside of town.

| | | I'd prefer to use non / minimally destructive means, such as picking or encouraging a small vent to open. If the building's otherwise sealed, it'd be better to find a way in that could be concealed after you leave, to keep out the riff-raff

To brake in or to walk in, To damage or not damage, break a window or not,
OK
Choose a side and talk about it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was being obscure in my earlier post but basically saying if no one is around what difference does it make whether you use an existing POE or make one. ** Also as a general rule I try to make the building look more secure than when I arrived... closing up obvious POEs and such.

This happened to me on my first real explore. A 17 story psych hospital with a nice easy entrance- just my luck! Took my gf in there and explored for about an hour. On the way back down, we heard some sounds- got to the bottom and saw wooden boards (previously missing) and a floor-to-ceiling chain-link fence (previously with a gaping hole) blocking our exit. That was a fun time- I can proudly say that I have broken out of a mental institution with a cheap multitool.

That is the best story I've ever heard! In Ohio, there is a pretty clean line between tresspass and B&E. Tresspassing (criminal tresspass) basically means you are somewhere you shouldn't be. This is a 4th degree misdemeanor. B&E says: "No person by force, stealth, or deception, shall trespass in an unoccupied structure, with purpose to commit therein any theft offense, as defined in section 2913.01 of the Revised Code, or any felony." It also says: "No person shall trespass on the land or premises of another, with purpose to commit a felony." So basically tresspass but with the intent to commit a felony. This is a 5th degree felony. Burglary is basically B&E, but into an occupied structure. 2nd degree felony.

| | | I actually visited an old publishing company one time. What they did was board everything up and then put liquid nails over the screws. New boarding had just been put up and no liquid nails had been applied. My buddy had a Gerber knife with a screwdriver so we unscrewed the board and sure enough it was a broken window behind the board. So we swiveled the board around and climbed in. When we left we screwed the board back in place. Other places I've just been able to walk right in.
