Now,As far as I'm aware trespass only becomes a criminal offence if it is aggravated trespass,
which was brought in under http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1994/33/contents.
Aggravated trespass takes place when the trespasser trespasses to disrupt or attempt to disrupt any lawful activity taking place on that property or adjoining property.

It is against the law to trespass on any land , river,lake as well as any building.
Ignorance of that fact is no defence under this law.
(Touch wood) I've never really had a run in with the law,although I've read a few posts off folk that have.I don't think it's in the public interest to persue a case for someone taking pics of a building,especially if your a butterfly enthusiast and you saw a rare one fly in,You couldn't miss the chance to snap that pic
I neither found it defensive or anything else, the typed word is very difficult to get the emotion behind it right, just wondered what would happen if I mooched around an open building.
