'''Trespass''' is the wrongful act of going onto someone else's land without the permission of the owner. It is a crime, though usually only prosecuted if the trespasser refuses to leave after being told to do so.

Trespass is also a [[tort]]. The owner can sue for damages regardless of whether the trespasser realized that he was on someone else's land. This [[tort]] reflects the view of the [[English]] [[common law]] that property ownership is absolute.
