Criminal Trespass

Criminal trespass occurs when an individual unlawfully enters or remains on someone else's property without permission. This can involve physical entry onto land or buildings owned by another person or entity. Trespassing is considered a crime because it violates the property rights of the owner. Penalties can vary based on local laws and the specific circumstances, such as whether the trespasser was warned to leave or if they caused damage. Overall, it reflects a disregard for the rights of others regarding their private property.
