Raiding Orchards in Massachusetts

In Massachusetts, the penalty for entering someone else's land to damage or steal the vegetation or produce is imprisonment for up to six months or a fine of not more than $500. No silliness there, eh? Well, if the offense is committed on a Sunday, there are minimums: "The imprisonment shall not be for less than five days nor the fine less than five dollars." (Mass. Gen. Laws § 266:117)
