Tampering with or unauthorized use of a fire hydrant

Opening or otherwise tampering with a fire hydrant or other municipal water infrastructure without authorization is illegal in most U.S. jurisdictions (offenses can include tampering with public utilities, theft of water, and creating a public safety hazard).

Situation:

"At the episode's end the group opens (pops) a city fire hydrant to beat the heat — Frank is shown with a wrench and the characters celebrate releasing water from the hydrant. This is an unauthorized use/tampering with public infrastructure and creates a public nuisance/hazard."

Crime #1

Theft of services

Theft of services / fraud by deception: intentionally avoiding payment for admission (obtaining the benefits of a service without paying).

Situation:

"Mac and Charlie order pizza to their location in the abandoned pool and attempt to pay the delivery driver without proper legitimate funds. They offer a gold chain and toss payment/change which the delivery driver then identifies as fake. This is an attempt to obtain delivery services without valid payment."

Crime #1

Trespass

Unlawful entry into a building (school) with the intent to commit an offense inside (unauthorized entry / burglary or trespass depending on jurisdiction).

Situation:

"Mac and Charlie locate and climb into an abandoned private/decommissioned swimming pool (using a mattress as a ladder) and become stuck. Dennis, Dee and Frank also enter/visit the same abandoned pool later. None of them have permission from the property owner; the entry is portrayed as forcible/unauthorized (they climb in, call for help, and refuse to leave when denied access)."
