Throwing snowballs at cars... kinda, whats going to happen?
|
Well today, my friends and I hid behind parked cars and threw snowballs out. I didn't actually throw any, but I just sat and watched it happen. One of the guys that was hit came back around and said "Don't throw snowballs, you distract drivers which could have resulted in death" etc. He didn't ask for names or anything, and we're sure we didn't cause any damage. I'm really scared though, so could I get in trouble? Is what my friends did illegal?
Sorry, i'm just really scared.
btw, im thirteen. Additional Details edit: I don't know why people aren't reading it through, I DID NOT THROW ANYTHING, my friends did.

if he didn't take names I wouldn't worry about it. I won't preach on the dangers of doing this but even though you didn't throw any yourself, you could have gotten into just about as much trouble for just being there. You are mistaken about the no jail bit. They do have juvenile detention centers for minors that is just like jail. |

I don't think you have any idea how many lives you used up today.
You didn't cause an accident that could have killed somebody and some Good Samaritan gave you a free lesson instead of beating the crap out of you; or worse. There was a news report a couple of years ago about a motorist pulling out a handgun and opening fire on a group of kids for doing this. |

what they did is illegal you are lucky that no names were taken even more lucky you(they)didn't hit a car driven by some crazy dude with a gun or something |

I did the same thing myself when I was younger. The driver got pissed off and wanted to make sure you don't do it again. I was scared and tried to run from him. Then he threw the car in reverse. And spoke to me.
The driver could call the police and it is illegal to throw snowballs at cars. Have them throw snowballs at each other for fun. |

Very dangerous and very stupid thing to do. You could get someone killed. Do you want that? You could get a fine and go to jail. |

what you done was wrong and you very well could have caused an accident. I doubt anything will happen. this driver done you a huge favor and you need to remember what he said< |

You were there which makes you an accessory to the crime. And it WAS A CRIME.
You could have received jail time. |

by reading all the other answers no one like to have fun(party poopers) its harmless as long as there is no rocks or ice in them. up here in pa we go corning. you take the corn off the cob while its still hard and find a place to hide and hit cars with it. i even got my dad to come out with us a couple times. its even better when some stops and gets out. it really gets you blood pumping |

I really dont think you have anything to worry about. The person won't tell on you, he has better things to worry about. I know you must be scared but dont worry about it everything will be fine. |

well what your friends did is called melisious destruction of private property.
What you did is called aiding and abedding a criminal enterprise. |

You.......no but for your friends it is a punishable crime to throw snowballs at buildings, cars and unsuspecting people.
This is a misdemeanor crime, which requires the offender to appear before a judge in court.
Furthermore, someone found guilty of damaging someone else’s property can be fined up to $1,000 and/or spend up to a year in county jail, according to the statute. |
