Arguing will often escalate a situation. Possibly someone was less than apologetic with the homeowner and this triggered the homeowner to escalate, as in pressing charges.

Never argue or try to defend your position when you are in the wrong.

Op, I'm guessing the way things turned out is a huge shock and surprise to you. And that's what you may be wanting support for ?

Lesson learned - right to remain silent. When you are asked questions by such neighbors, do not answer.

it sounds like by not answering the neighbors about what was going on that angered them to the extent that they called the police. This is still a strange story though.

Honestly, playing ball at 11:30 motzi Shabbos is incredibly disrespectful. My next neighbors allow young kids to play outside until 2:00 a.m.

If the playing happens weekly, your neighbor could have been fed up with the noise. Perhaps if you go over there contrite and promise that there will be no more outside play at night, they will drop the charges.

Whaaaat?

Is there someone here familiar with the practical application of the law that can clue us in here? Is a person normally get arrested for retrieving a ball from a neighboring property? Is there more to the story?

A neighbor doesn't usually call the police for this sort of thing - so that's what's not 'normal' here. But they did - their right. Im guessing police tried to persuade them to drop it.

I posted the law earlier.

Practical application - don't enter someone's gate without permission or consent to do so.

Am I primitive? Not only are my kids never out after 10 nor are they out on a motzi altogether, I havent seen such a thing in my entire area all along. I take plenty midnight walks and pass 600 families or so.

Khaki It's embarrassing to be arrested. She is very famous as well.

Naturally I'm curious as to who this 'famous' yet incredibly stupid 19 year old is.

It definitely sounds like there's more to the story, but for those questioning the "famous" 19-year old, it sounds like English is either not the OP's first language, or she just has a very bad command of it. It's likely she just meant "well-known" or "from a well-respected family". Something like that.

Well if she releases any more details, she'll be famous for something else too.

BTW, I think ten p.m. is too late for children to be out also.

She needs a lawyer to do all the talking for her. The lawyer will explain the situation to her, and tell her how to present herself in front of the judge (including look alert, don't stare at the accuser, keep your mouth shut unless asked a direct question, etc).

Hinting in rhyme, I think? I'm pretty sure that's still a rule-violation, though.

She's trying to say "smell a troll". My 8 year old son might say something like that. But as herself. Not anon. Grow up.

It is. You arent allowed to call someone out as a troll. If you suspect a troll you need to report the post and say why.
