QUOTE: Originally posted by jhhtrainsplanes What is right is right and what is wrong is wrong. There is no gray area here. It all boils down to morals and who has them. If you tell your kids it is ok to do something that is wrong (such as trespass) how to you tell them not to rob a bank? ! If you allow compromise in one area then sooner or later you will allow compromise in another area. Adults are suspose to set an example that their children can follow. You can go to jail for trespassing just as you can for bank robbery. After reading some of the replies I can understand why so many of today's youth are so mixed up. How can one adult teach their children to stay off the tracks when other adults ignor common sense. Walking on the railroad tracks (or right of way) is not only dangerous, it is illegal. Train crews and other railroad workers are instructed to report any trespassing. I guess some of these people teach their children it is ok to drive around the crossing arms when they are down. And while we are at it, ignor that stupid old speed limit, it is too slow anyway. And these same people would be the first to call the law if their house was broken into. Sure, you can have your cake, and eat it too. Do whatever you want to do, when you want to do it. Don't worry about the laws, its ok. Defination of trespass: a violation of moral or social ethics, the tort of wrongful entry on real property. You guys better hope that Judge Judy doesn't try your case. I can here her now, "Lock them up, throw away the key."
