California Criminal trespass is defined as any time a person knowingly enters another person's property without consent or authorization, or if you have entered another person's property and intentionally defaced, destroyed or demolished any part of the property.
If you are charged with a trespass you may face charges as an infraction, misdemeanor or felony. An experienced Los Angeles trespass defense attorney can help defend you against the charges, limiting the potential penalties faced.
The crackdown on trespass violations is rooted in safety concerns - with frequent violations including cars stopped on tracks and driving under gates while they are closing, and pedestrians trying to cross the tracks ahead of oncoming trains. California is ranked #2 for rail-crossing collisions.
