Does anyone know what can happen to you if you get charged with criminal mischeif?(in the US).  Cause I *might* get criminal mischeif charges if enough damage was done to this guys windshield (we threw water baloons at peoples cars...)  So does anyone know what might happen to me?

You hire a lawyer to go to court and convince the jury it was just a harmless prank.  And you'd, of course, somehow deal with the damages.  That said, how in hell did you damage a windshield with a water balloon?

They would probably put you in front of a firing squad in Texas (and Utah). :p

If it's you're first offense, you'll probably get a slap on the wrist, especially if you agree to pay damages.  Depending on the judge, you could also spend a couple of nights in jail(real jail, not juvie or house arrest) to put the fear of God into you so you don't do monumentally stupid things like that again.  You realize someone could have gotten killed, right?  Granted that's worst case, but depending on the driver and traffic conditions you could've caused a wreck.

My suggestion, work out a plea to a lesser charge.  The judge would probably look more kindly on a kid who, realizing what he had done, owns up and takes responibility like an adult.

Cry.

If you cry they'll probably just make you pay the damages.

Though if the judge is in a pissy mood he could decide that you were endangering the lives of the people in the cars and send you to a federal 'pound me in the ass' prison for like a month.

You know an arse kicking off your father would probably work too - so why doesn't the state back off and let it happen? :lol:

Thank god the driver doesn't want to press charges, because we know him, and he just wants us to pay for the windshield.  I wanna know how a water balloon cracked a windshield too...

Then you pay for the windshield damages, and no one should have any problems out of it.  The DA won't waste resources prosecuting a kid for being stupid if he settles the damages.  Even if you didn't previously know the guy, the best way to settle the problem is to agree outright to pay for what you broke.
