So some friends and i are thinking of a school prank, nothing damaging or something that would ruin anything but what are the consequences if you got caught on school property? Or if your caught in the act, what would the legal cosequences be? Were 15 if it helps.

You can get suspended, maybe even deal with cops [but hopefully that won't occur]. I think the worse that'll happen is that you'll get suspended for a bit.

And you've gotta have a clear conscience. If you do this prank & it turns out that the school doesn't happn to find it funny, then they'll probably be looking for who did it. Usually when you're getting into trouble you wanna speak up, but you can't make it look obvious you did it when someone mentions it. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

It should all be in the student/school handbook so read through it. The worst is getting expelled [which I hope you won't get]. There's ISS OSS detention community service...it just really depends on a lot of factors...major ones are what school you go to and what the prank is. It's all in the handbook [ ductape_n_roses's advice column | Ask ductape_n_roses A Question ]
ammo answered Friday May 11 2007, 10:54 am: I would think it will all depend n a number of things such as where you are (UK or USA), what the prank was, whether or not it's during school time etc, etc, etc.
As for getting caught on school property (I'm guessing you will be doing this after the school has closed) would be trespassing on private property so you'd probably just get a caution or escorted home by the cops. To be honest I'm not really sure though. Best thing is to just play it safe and whatever this prank is, to make sure it won't cause any harm to any person as well as property.
Oh, if your found trespassing the school may even decide to take action against you with a fine and, if you go to the school, with a suspension. [ ammo's advice column | Ask ammo A Question ]
