Unlawfully entering a premises or dwelling by force; a key element distinguishing a Class 5 felony from a Class 2 misdemeanor in possession of burglary tools charges.
Right Law Group's guide explains: "It is a Class 5 felony and is punishable by up to three years in prison and $100,000 in fines. If the District Attorney cannot prove that a person knowingly possessed the tools with the intent to forcibly enter a dwelling, they can still charge a Class 2 misdemeanor for simply possessing the tools."
