Yes, trespassing, public mischief, etc., and that means an adult criminal record which will make it hard for you to get a job. And if by this act, you bring disrepute upon your own university, you may find yourself expelled by your own school for something you did elsewhere (and yes, they can do this). I suggest you don’t do this! You may think it is funny but no one else will and the consequences will be painful for you!

Addendum: If you take that mike from the person speaking with any kind of force or if the speaker fights back, you could end up charged with criminal assault. Felonies don’t look good on your permanent record!

Depending upon where this occurs, you might get charged with trespassing if they really wanted to charge you with something. BTW, what makes you think this would be a funny prank? I think it sounds childish.

They might call the campus police, which would discover that you’re trespassing.

You’d probably spend some time in jail just to prove a point.
