Trespassing is the act of entering or remaining on someone else's property without

their permission. It is a crime in most jurisdictions and can result in fines, jail
time, or both.

There are many different ways to trespass, including:

Entering someone's property without their permission

Remaining on someone's property after you have been asked to leave
Entering a restricted area, such as a construction site or a military base
Damaging or destroying someone's property while trespassing
Trespassing can also be a civil offense, meaning that the property owner can sue
the trespasser for damages.

There are a few exceptions to the general rule that trespassing is illegal. For
example, you are not trespassing if you:

Are invited onto the property by the owner or their agent

Are responding to an emergency
Are exercising your right to free speech or assembly
Are crossing the property to access a public right-of-way
If you are caught trespassing, you should cooperate with the police and avoid
arguing or resisting arrest. You may also want to contact an attorney to discuss
your legal options.

Here are some tips to avoid trespassing:

Always get permission before entering someone else's property.

If you are unsure whether you have permission, it is always best to err on the side
of caution and stay off the property.
Be aware of any signs or markings that indicate that you are not allowed on the
property.
If you are asked to leave, do so immediately.
Do not damage or destroy any property while on the property.
By following these tips, you can help to avoid trespassing and the legal
consequences that can result.
