Vandalism California Penal Code 594 

Penal Code 594 restricts damaging someone else’s property. Any person that enters a building through force and damages or completely demolishes their property is considered to be Vandalism pursuant to California Penal Code 594.

Vandalism is the hateful assault to another’s property. The key phrase to remember with vandalism is “hateful”. When a person willfully damages, defaces, or destroys someone’s property, it is considered vandalism.

Punishments associated with vandalism are often underestimated. It is important to understand that no punishment for a crime is to be taken lightly. Many employers will see your vandalism charges and think your more trouble than your worth. Most employers will not hire potentially problematic individuals.

In California, vandalism is punishable in three ways: an infraction, a misdemeanor, or a felony. The deciding factor in the penalty is the value of the property damaged. If costs are equal to less than $250, you are likely to be charged with an infraction. Under California Penal Code 594, you can be charged with a misdemeanor if damages value less than $400. Damages equaling $400 or more will result in a felony.
