Thanks,that's a good question that i could, probably will end up going into one about.but in short:
I often find myself torn between respecting folks right not to have someone on their property an pursuing my hobby/interest.
I am no way claiming to be a law guru,but,Trespass is a civil offence, except on certain sites ( military, heritage,railways,government an a few others).It is up to the landowner to press charges, the Crown won't.
Police under direction from the landowner have the right to remove you from their property using reasonable force.However you may also be arrested till the police are enlightened as to what you was upto.

As I've mentioned somewhere before I NEVER cause damage to gain entry to a property,and my signature says the rest
Hope this helps,if you want me to go into one just ask
I think I sort of understand, I wasn't having a dig at you doing it, more what would happen if I did it. So if its open and you can walk in unchallenged and provided you leave when asked to, you are not committing an offence.
