Urban Exploration

[applesauce]

Spent a couple hours tonight poking around in an abandoned research lab building at my school. Coolest part was either the subbasement or the massive transformers (the floor and the floor above them were literally shaking from just under 4,000,0000 watts of combined power.

So what happens if anyone catches you going through these places? A fine?

It depends on a number if variables. In most situations, if you don't have any spray paint, crowbars, drugs, or weapons on you, and you honestly explain what you were doing, you'll get off with just a warning. Most of the time when explorers get arrested or ticketed it is because they either a. tried to run from the cops, b. tried to lie to the cops, c. had b&e tools on them, or d. were guilty of another crime.

Campus police could possibly fine us, especially if they knew about the site, but if they don't, they would probably just make us leave the building.

The two times I've been confronted by cops, I started asking them questions about the function/history of the place, both times thy didn't know but seemed convinced that I wasn't up to anythig awful, and told me to be careful/stay away.
