Was this hacking or just 'acking? If you go for a walk and wander onto somebodys land without causing or intending any damage then that's just trespass, but if you did intend damage then that's criminal trespass.

What about when you stand in someones doorway when it rains? What about the strangers who walk up my garden path and knock on my door - despite the signs that say Private and No callers?

Point is; if there is no sign, or no fence and no damage then it's just a trespass. Why don't squatters and travellers get fined?

If he was just roaming - Why doesn't he get himself a decent lawyer and advice about an appeal?
