In the UK and Australia the act of Trespass is actionable in the civil courts i.e. it's not a criminal offense, so the No Trespassing signs have little effect -after all, which landowner is going to take the trouble and cost of pursuing an action for trespass in the civil courts. Likely very little if any damages would be awarded.
I'm wondering if trespassing is a civil or criminal offense in the USA? Is it viewed the same as in the UK?I note Blondie's comments about "fines" being awarded which indicates a criminal action.It intrigues me that the WTS should be running scared of those type of suits - anyone know of any cases?
