Can someone enlighten me on the liability and penalty on criminal damage in Federal law? In British jurisdiction, Criminal Damage is as defined by s.1(1) Criminal Damage Act 1971 and 'damage' need not be visible so long as there is a diminution of value or product is altered to such an extent that restoring it back to its original condition would require time, effort or money. What is the requirement to prove 'damage' in federal law ? If so, what article or penal code....
All help appreciated.
Rgds.
