Ok well my son got an citation for trespassing at an high school he graduated from but that school is no longer there anymore..he was there dancing with his dance team...they told him not to come back but he went back thinking it was ok because he saw multiple people there on same property and security called police on him and they wrote him citation saying burglary in progress at the location and trespassing. But if im not mistaken burglary is robbing or breaking entrance..but he didn't do that he was outside of the school
