Original Note:
While this may be true in countries like the United States, trespass in English (and Welsh) law is mostly a “civil tort” (civil offense) rather than a criminal offense, unless the property owner(s) can prove intent to commit theft, grievous bodily harm, or criminal damage. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trespass_in_English_law https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/theft-act-offences#_Theft16
