trespass laws

Trespass laws prohibit entering or remaining on someone else’s property without permission. They’re designed to protect property owners’ rights and privacy. If you ignore signs, barriers, or requests to leave, you may be considered trespassing. Laws can vary by jurisdiction, but generally, trespass becomes an offense when someone intentionally enters, remains, or refuses to leave property unlawfully. In some cases, this can lead to fines or other penalties. Trespass laws emphasize respecting private property and boundaries, discouraging unauthorized access while allowing lawful use, such as public access to certain areas or rights of way.
