    Default Trespass, New York Penal Code, Sec. 140.05

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: New York

    Hello,

    I was out in Saratoga Springs, NY with a few friends of mine during the track season. I had previously worked in a building off broadway (resigned approx 1 week prior to this incident) and had always taken the option of using the back alley exit of the building to enter the downtown area. As my friend and I were walking out of the back alleyway, two police officers confronted us and began to badger us with what could be considered offensive comments (what're you two suckin' each other off back there; doin drugs; etc). We did not resist and allowed the police to do their job and were given citations to appear in court in front of a Judge.

    I am wondering if I explain that I was merely showing my friend where I used to work and using the same exit I had for the prior two years I was employed in that building, the Judge may dismiss the charges.

    Or is this a much more serious charge and I should get legal counsel?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Best,

    You were cited for trespassing where? Is the alley private property?
