What is Trespass? Trespassing in Florida Defined

There are several different forms of criminal trespass in the State of Florida, and of which Miami Dade County trespass offenses are covered by. Trespassing laws in the Florida State Statutes are greatly seen in sections 810.08, 810.09, 810.095, and 810.097.

Generally speaking, the crime of trespass involves going onto or remaining on someone else’s property without their consent and is a misdemeanor crime. This crime can become a serious felony theft crime offense of burglary if the person’s intention to enter or stay on property is determined to have been to commit a different crime while there, such as steal an item, or commit a violent crime offense or sexual crime offense.

Penalties and Additional Consequences of a Trespass offense in Miami

Penalties available as punishment from a Judge can include jail and / or fines up to a certain amount, along with probation. Typically, Miami charges first time offenses of trespass into a structure as a first-degree misdemeanor trespass charge, which carries with it upon conviction the possibility of sentence up to 60 days for unoccupied structures and up to one year in jail for occupied structures, at one of the Miami Dade County Jails, up to $1,000 in fines plus court costs, and probation of one year plus any fees associated with that probation or special terms of probation. If armed trespass, then the prison sentence allowed can be significantly longer, including up to five years in a State of Florida prison.

Because a trespassing charge that develops fully into a conviction will go on your permanent criminal record, this permanent mark may mean that as a consequence you find it more difficult to get accepted into certain schools or colleges you once sought to attend, obtain employment or a professional license you sought, rent an apartment, obtain a loan for a home or for other purposes. Avoiding the charge going on your record, and keeping you out of jail is what our criminal defense attorney seeks to obtain so that you do not have to go through any of these issues now or down the road.
