The law in this matter is not "PC". Or if it is, PC goes back a very long way.

The current laws of trespass go back to the late 1600s/early 1700s. And the act of trespass is not a criminal offence, it is civil: the police can't touch them. In strict legal terms, the act of trespass as a civil offence is "unlawful" rather than "illegal." The police can only act where an action is "illegal".
