Help Need Legal Advice On Property Entry in Scotland

[SaxSpeed]

as you all know i split with my ex a month or so ago but today i went to her house to get my tv, there was no cars there so i chaped the door, no answer.

so i opend the door, it wasent locked and shouted hello and no one answerd

so i walked in and got my tv then left causing no damage.

the t.v is mine ( i have the resipt, bought of my card and license is in my name)

this is in SCOTLAND by the way


is this illegal as the object i took was mine and can prove it, and i never damaged anything?

Not theft as it was already yours, not breaking and entering as the door was open ( Baliffs use this method). Who's house is it? Trespassing? Lol
Just keep quiet :y:

There's no trespassing laws in Scotland is there

I don't see a problem with it, why are you asking anyway is she going mad about it?

Did you take a pair of her duds home with you to remember her by?

By the way, under Pennsylvania law, there are two forms of trespass which are punishable:

(1) unlawful entry of a secured or occupied building, a third degree felony if a person sneaks in, a second degree felony if a person breaks in;
( i never broke in it was open, wasent occupied, never sneaked in as i shouted)

(2) "Defiant trespass" -- A person commits an offense if, knowing that he is not licensed or privileged to do so, he enters or remains in any place as to which notice against trespass is given by:

(wasent planing on remaining there lol)

Trespass isnt even a crime. It is a civil offence.

As long as you dont damage anything (eg you dont break down their door to get in) you are not breaking any laws in retrieving your possessions.

depends where you stay - in Scotland there is no trespassing law, you can go into someones garden to retrieve you belongings and the only rights they have is to ask you to leave the property, obviously if you broke down the door it would be classed as breaking and entering
