What are Daytime & Nighttime Burglaries?
In California, the law distinguishes between nighttime and daytime burglary. The penalties are generally more severe for burglaries committed at night, with nighttime burglary being considered burglary in the first degree. Nighttime is most often defined as beginning half an hour after sunset and half an hour before sunrise. California also distinguishes between residential and commercial burglary, with punishments for residential burglary (breaking into someone's house) being more stringent.
The penalties for a burglary conviction can include:
- Up to one year in prison for a misdemeanor charge
- More than one year in jail for a felony
- High fines paid to the state
- Restitutions paid to the victim
