Funny thing to say for someone barely capable of reading (much less responding to) what I have written.
You have stated, "I'd like to see a person charged for "trespassing" e.g. a shop during business hours." I have pointed this out again and again. See the case. Harrison v. Carswell (Harrison v. Carswell (1975), [1976] 2 S.C.R. 200) See previous posts for a summary of this. The claimant was the owner. The respondent was expelled and charged. The rights of the mall owners where considered by the court to supersede the rights of the respondent.
In this case an implicit permission (entering the mall) was EXPLICITLY REVOKED. It is undisputed that the owner has the right to grant or deny access to his property. I repeat: I'd like to see a person (regular customer, walking through a shop, not expelled by the owner) charged for "trespassing" said shop during business hours. [...]
What is so difficult that makes you fail to understand "Not authorised". This means that you have expressly been authorised or you are NOT authorised. I always though it a simple concept. I am sorry that I fail to see your troubles with understanding this.
That's because you fail to understand that there are things like implicit authorization. Contrary to your belief authorization does NOT always have to be given expressly (e.g. you are implicitly authorized to enter a shop during its business hours, the owner of the shop doesn't need to expressly invite you). I have been trying to explain this to you during the whole past week, but I'm finally getting tired of it.
Illegal, or unlawful, describes that which is either prohibited or not authorised by law. You have this idea that if it is not codified than you can do it. This is wrong.
Prove it. The above case sure isn't proof, because there IS a law stating that the owner has the right to grant or deny anyone access to his properties (in german law this is ยง 903 BGB), so the expellation is based on a law. Freedom of speech is codified in a law as well. The judge had to evaluate which of these laws had the greater importance in that case. It is by no means an example of how something would be illegal without a law.
I have sent the Maxim of property to you.
I am very well aware of that. However, you don't seem to understand that a) it *has* limitations and b) we were talking about a case where the owner had IMPLICITLY GRANTED ACCESS. Even though he did that he is STILL owner of his property, and he can STILL revoke that implicitly granted privilege.
You keep forgetting that ALL judges are lawyers.
No. You just keep assuming that you're smarter and more educated than anyone else. But you aren't.
