    Question No One Pressed Charges

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: NY


    i am 17 and broke into some cars one night and ran from the police and was caught. they made me make a statement about what happened. i addmitted to it and sent me home with my parents. they told me that when people reported their cars broken into that id be charged. i was never charged with anything for the cars. that same night before i broke into the cars i commited a few acts of vandalisim. a person i was with told the polce in his statement what i did. they made me come down a second time and i made a statement and again addmited to these things. i asked the police then who reported it and whos pressing charges and they simply told me, no one... then they told me id be contacted and givin an apearence ticket soon. my question is how can i be charged with crimes that no one pressed charges or even reported?

    By admitting to them.

    You didn't think that owning up to them was going to get you out of court and punishment, did you?
