Trespass.  Does the standing on a private fence and breaking it constitute criminal damage & trespass?

In the UK you will not find that trespass is illegal except for Crown land.\nTrespass is not a criminal offence and you can not be prosecuted for it except for trespass on Crown owned land.\n"Trespassers will be prosecuted" written on a sign is completely incorrect. Only a civil action may be taken out in the event of trespass. So "Trespassers will face civil action in court" would be more correct but it does not have the same effect!\nAs far as damage to the fence is concerned, this is a criminal matter and if the child is 10 or over, it is regarded in the UK as having reached the age where they are responsible for their actions and could be prosecuted for criminal damage.\nWhether they crossed your boundary or not is irrelevant. If they committed a criminal act, whether or not they were trespassing does not have any bearing on the criminal act of damaging your fence.\nYou must have proof of who damaged your fence. Your say so is not sufficient as it is your word against another person.

You don't have to it a no trespassing sign signed to be legal. \n\n"Technically, a person violates the law against trespassing by knowingly going onto someone else's land without consent. "Knowledge" may be inferred when the owner (or the owner's representative) tells the trespasser not to go on the land or when the land is fenced in a manner that suggests that intruders should stay out or there is a "no trespassing" sign in an obvious place."\n\nhttp://www.tba.org/LawBytes/T10_1903.html

The violation of the contract would be a civil matter. If, however, there was fraud (as often is the case with some "contractors" after a disaster) then that would be a criminal matter.

some states have this law. Basicly what it sums down to is that the violator entered onto a property to strike fear in the defendent.

No it is not legal, and its trespassing.\n\nSo, you are in for a heafty battle. There are privacy rights, and your land lord can be liable if he is in on it.\n\nGood luck. DO you have hard evidence of this? you will need concrete. LIke pictures... Make sure you have them..

You can start with Penal Code section 602 et. seq., which you can find here:\n\nhttp://www.leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.html\n\nHowever, it's possible that not all law related to the issue of trespassing will be found there, there might be other laws (such as in the Education Code) that also deal with the subject.  If you have a specific situation in mind, you might do better to post a question about your situation and see what kind of answers you get.

Its a crime against the State-to go against the State is a crime against the country-Treason.\nIt includes many civil-trespassing-disorderly-       fraud  and a hundred others.

Anybody can sue, but the question is if there's a cause that is actionable by the court.  A person can not benefit from an illegal action.  In this case breaking in is the illegal action and thus prevents the homeowner from having responsibility.

If it was on your property then you are. If it was on a neighbor's property and it hit your daughter while she was on your property, then your neighbor MIGHT be responsible. If you are looking to sue, don't. The government doesn't need more lawsuites that really arn't worth it. It was only minor brusies after all. Sorry for your daughter.

Yes you would be liable.  First of all you should have liability insurance on your property (you pretty much have to, even on your own house).  Second you could put up signs saying "use track at your own risk" and "No Trespassing".  Finally you could require him to sign a disclaimer releasing you of all liability.  Different states will vary, but most will be pretty much the same.

The question (I assume there is a question in all that statement) I think makes a common false assumption about the law. The law does not require that the taking of another's property be done forcefully in order to be illegal. Trespass is illegal even if there are no signs or fences to keep a person off your property.\n\nThe simplest answer is -- yes it's illegal. The courts respect that an online network is property in a legal sense, and unauthorized use of another's network is covered by the law in both civil and even criminal matters.\n\nIn the one case (where your computer picks up a router that is not your own and accesses through it automatically) you are probably not breaking the law because there is no intent to steal or trespass. If, however, you try to access in an area where you know you don't have a router, and you don't have permission to use anyone else's, then you're probably still guilty of the trespass.\n\nHowever, yes, in general you're breaking the law in some ways, just as much as you would be breaking the law to use your neighbor's hose to water your lawn. The fact that the hose is lying out by his house doesn't change the fact that you used someone else's property as your own without his permission. In order to be "public" property, it has to be designated as such or owned by the government (who even then is under no duty to call it public property either). \n\nYou may not be very likely to get caught for mooching off someone else's connection, but it's still illegal.

Could be a felony, depends on the extent of the injury.

From a moral viewpoint she probably did the right thing, from a "street culture" viewpoint, probably not. \n\nFor my personal opinion I'd need to know the offence you were 'grassed' for, but it would depend on whether your actions compromised the safety of, or in some way deprived another person/community (eg: robbery, vandalism).

Unless it was your sign I can tell you it would be just as bad as trespassing on the property the sign for intended for. It can be classed as property damage or if you take the sign stealing.

It probably isn't necessary for a car on private property to have a valid inspection sticker.\n\nOf course for it to be removed to the inspection station to get it inspected requires special arrangement. (In the UK you need to make an advance appointment with an inspection station; without researching Texas law I can only say that the worst case scenario would be you have to get it towed to the inspection place.)\n\nTechnically, whoever came onto the private property may well have been trespassing. But you probably won't get anywhere in court by arguing that. Unless this is a homicide case and you are arguing actual fear of harm, and that's why you shot the inspector!

If the tenant still had a lease on the property and landlord didn't provide sufficient notice of entry to the property, then the landlord would be trespassing regardless of whether or not the tenant was actually occupying the property. Under the law, the tenant had the right to be there, and the right to receive notice of the landlord entering the premises. \n\nI'm not sure what the punishment would be. Given the facts, it'd probably be worth getting a lawyer and trying to get the case dismissed.
