Civil Trespass

Civil trespass occurs when an individual unlawfully enters or remains on someone else's property without permission. This can apply to physical invasion, such as walking onto land, or even non-physical intrusions, like placing objects on the property. Trespass is considered a civil matter, meaning the affected property owner can file a lawsuit for damages or request the removal of the trespasser. It emphasizes the rights of property owners to control access to their land and can lead to legal consequences for those who violate these rights.
