What happens when you go to court for trespassing?
Trespass is usually a minor misdemanor charge. When appearing in court you will get the opportunity to plead guilty or not guilty. If you plead guilty you will probably be fined or receive some kind of community service sentence. If you plead not guilty, the court will hear the testimony of your accuser (the complainant) and you will get a chance to tell your side of the story. The judge will then render a decision as to your guilt, or lack thereof.
