When we go urban exploring, it can be amazing and difficult at the same time, with many of us wondering what we can do wrong or what we can do right. One of the first things many wonders is just how you can get arrested while making urbex journeys. Traveling through locked locations, finding places no one has seen, and doing things few would don’t always mean you are safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are six ways that you can be arrested while urban exploring, breaking into properties, trespassing on government property, and running away being three of the most likely ways that you can get arrested.

Can you get arrested while urban exploring?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Many times the more dangerous kind of urban explorer will believe that they are untouchable while urban exploring. Falsely believing there is a vague law that will protect them or go against the wishes of private property owners and not have to care about the consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can be arrested while urban exploring, and the jail time can range from only a one-night stay to well over a few years.

One danger that you should never overcome is being comfortable while urban exploring, one of the thrills is going where you are not allowed, which means, by definition, you are doing something that is against the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 Breaking into abandoned properties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This is what we all love doing, and it is the one thing that can get you arrested almost immediately. Often, owners who are willing to post security guards at the locations or keep an eye on the property themselves will be more than willing to call the police. If this does happen, it means that you are officially doing something illegal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may often think that a building or home is entirely abandoned, but owners will have signs up that say that it is private property and that access is forbidden. According to the law, even if you are just going onto the property to take a few pictures, you will be entering the property illegally.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are caught by the police while doing this, they can arrest you for trespassing, and the owner of the property can even press charges. Always be careful when urban exploring even the most abandoned property, it may very well be guarded by more than just locked doors and danger signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
