Question

What if you are in the area of a break in and are on surveillance camara but have done nothing. You are accused of attempted breaking and entering.



Answer

If you just happened to be there, you would be acquitted. If the person(s) who broke in are acquaintances of yours, it may be difficult to convince a jury that you just "happened" to be there at the same time they just happened to burglarize a building. if you were there to help them, you could be convicted.
