处罚
The offence of possessing house breaking materials is seen as a serious criminal offence in the state of NSW. As seen in section 114 of the Crimes Act 1900, the maximum penalty that could be enforced, is 7 years’ imprisonment, should you be found guilty at the District Court. However, this penalty is typically dealt with at the Local Court, in which the maximum penalty is a gaol term of only 2 years.
同样重要的是要记住，如果适当的话，法院有执行较轻处罚的自由裁量权。家庭拘留、强化教养令 (ICO)、罚款或社区服务令 (CSO) 等替代性处罚通常比全日制监禁更为有利，法院可根据犯罪情况、个人情况和以往犯罪史对其实施处罚。法院通常还会对认罪的个人给予某种较轻的处罚。这可能包括上述任何一种替代处罚、缩短监禁期限或可能的第 10 条撤消，即不记录任何定罪。.
