Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland
My friend and I are down on our luck. We started dumpster diving to eat and find anything of value. We went to a farm and went dumpster diving in about six trash dumpsters. We were looking for recyclable ferrous metals to recycle.
The farm had a camera because no one lived at the farm and they had large farm equipment stolen in the past. They got our tag number off the camera and reported it.
The police questioned me and I admitted to taking stuff from the dumpster. They now have charged me with all kinds of stuff from scheming to commit burglary fourth degree to theft of scrap recyclable items ect. 13 counts!
To my detriment, the dumpsters are on (un-posted) private property. What should I do? They are presenting the case to a grand jury to see if it is a viable case.
