Trespassing on Someone’s Property
Trespassers are people who go onto someone else’s land without permission from the owner or the lawful occupier. The Trespass Act gives the police the right to arrest a trespasser. If the court finds you guilty, you can get a fine or a jail sentence. In this way the owner can get you arrested if you are on his/her land illegally. An owner cannot use the Trespass Act as a way of getting people evicted from their homes – this must go through the PIE Act. (See: Problem 2: Being arrested and charged with trespassing)
