what would the consequence be

For knocking the windshield out of a truck with a bat in broad day light with witnesses? Someone told me bail is 10% of bond. How much would that be for something like destuction of property, and how long would you have to stay in jail or what other possable fines could you end up with?

In Colorado, if you do over a thousand dollars in damages, it's a felony.

Kiss your guns goodbye.

Depends on the state law.

It would be a vandalism case here (destruction of private property), and you could get a varying bond, depending on the damage and intent. Usually around $2500 bond.

Fine and or jail time varies with state laws too, and the judge.

Expect restitution, fine and 1 year probated sentence with applicable court costs and probation fees.

Probably not worth it. Crime pays, but it only pays the government.

Also, if it's family related, someone COULD possibly put their firearm ownership in jeopardy. Don't.

No penalties unless caught.

dude, it ain't worth it.

He's from Tennessee.

That's just one step above West Virginia.

The price of many, many cases of beer, friend s.b.

No need to lambast the guy. There may be good reason behind why he's even asking the question.

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

I didn't say I was the one who did this you dumbasses, if you want to do the personal insult thing....
One above west virginia and three steps above colorado, if you wanna do the state insult thing...
Dumbasses always come in pairs... grin

If the person did this did it durring broad daylight with witnesses then he was probably making a point, ya think? I'm just wondering what he's faceing. Probably nothing, cause if the dude files charges the other guy will also file charges for the reason for the retaliation. Its how things work around here sometimes, its the only thing they understand. Jail don't effect these idiots.

Why would you do that?

As for Colorado. West Virginia may be number 1 in Meth, but we are probably number one for both Pot and Hippie girls.

The truth is, Colorado is the second most educated state. Tennessee is the 10th least educated state, and West Virginia is dead last.

1. West Virginia
> Bachelor’s degree or higher: 18.9%
> Median household income: $41,253 (3rd lowest)
> Pct. below poverty level: 18.5% (10th highest)

Less than 19% of West Virginia’s adult population had completed at least a bachelor’s degree in 2013, more than 10 percentage points lower than the national rate and the lowest rate in the country. Residents ages 18 to 24 across the nation were also far more likely than West Virginia residents of this age group to have an associate’s degree or at least some college experience. West Virginia was one of only a few states where less than half of residents between 18 and 24 had at least some college experience last year. And yet, residents were not the worst off relative other least educated states. The median earnings of West Virginians without a high school diploma was $20,267, in line with the national

10. Tennessee
> Bachelor’s degree or higher: 24.8%
> Median household income: $44,297 (9th lowest)
> Pct. below poverty level: 17.8% (12th highest)

While roughly 30% of American adults had attained some form of higher education last year, less than one-quarter of Tennessee residents had at least a bachelor’s degree. Like most states with low educational attainment rates, Tennessee households struggle to make ends meet. More than 17% of households relied on food stamps last year, more than in all but a handful of states. Adults who had not completed high school earned a median income of just $18,706, one of the lowest median earnings for Americans without a high school diploma. Tennessee recently adopted an alternative high school equivalency test, which is expected to make a high school diploma even more accessible to adults in the state. And in an effort to improve college attainment rates, Governor Bill Haslam announced in February a plan to make all state community colleges absolutely free to residents.

2. Colorado
> Bachelor’s degree or higher: 37.8%
> Median household income: $58,823 (12th highest)
> Pct. below poverty level: 13.0% (16th lowest)

While roughly 38% of Colorado residents had obtained at least a bachelor’s degree in 2013, only 5% of households had more than $200,000 in annual income, lower than in most of America’s most educated states. Median earnings among those with a higher level of education were also lower than in most other educated states. Residents ages 25 and up who finished their education with a bachelor’s degree earned less than $47,000, below the national median of $50,050. Geographical differences may be driving the lower levels of earnings. Colorado is one of only a few most educated state not located in the northeast.

If he's black, he'll probably get a parade, or at least an honerary riot if he gets arrested.

LMAO! Nail meet hammer.....

seal billy- Here, in Michigan, when I set a bond on criminal charges, I have several options. I can set a straight dollar amount. Say... $5,000. If I do that, then the defendant can post the $5,000, or contact a bail bondsman and pay him whatever he charges to post the bond as a surety. I can also add an option for the defendant to post 10%, in this case $500. Another possibility is setting the bond amount as a personal recognizance bond, where there is no upfront money posted.
There are ramifications for each option. If defendant posts the full bond amount, then that full amount is available to be applied to fines, costs, restitution, etc..., or returned in full if charges are dropped or defendant is acquitted. If a bondsman posts, then whatever it cost is "lost", as there is no money posted to apply or return. If the ten percent option is used, then ten percent of the ten percent is forfeited to the county, regardless of how the case turns out.
When setting bond, I look at the severity of the offense, injuries, criminal history, likelihood of showing in Court, safety of the community, etc.
In your example, I assume we are talking about damage of $200 to $1,000. Here, that would be a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail and/or fines of up to $2,000 plus costs of prosecution. Probation can be ordered for up to two years with whatever terms I find to be appropriate to the offense. Restitution would be ordered as well.
How I would sentence any particular defendant depends entirely on the facts of the case, and defendant's criminal history.
Hope this helps a little. Al

I now understand how the antigun and pot laws got passed in Colorado. Between the 38 percent and the minorities it was easy. ED K

Yep.

You also have to factor in about a 5% gap in male to female voters with more women voters in this state.

My thoughts too Mag, ol Steelhead is starting to grow on me. A truer statement has never been made S.h..

If I hadent had a little chubby girl that was in love with me doing all my home work I would have never made it through high school, not because I'm stupid but I was to busy having fun. Now I'm and electrician and I make more than lots of people that went to college (though I'm not wealthy in the standard definition of the word) and I don't have student loans. Pretty good for an uneducated guy from Tennessee I think.
