there are rules related to private property. In the case of trespass it is the property owner who makes the charge. It is the property owner who decides who is and who is not allowed on his property.
Someone has been watching too many television shows. There are no such "rules related to private property" that allow a property owner to bring
criminal charges for trespass. For the third time, bringing
criminal charges is at the entire discretion of the prosecutor; it does not ultimately rest with the property owner. Anon/poche has thoroughly confused criminal and civil law. While a property owner may attempt to remove an individual from their property, sometimes even forcibly and/or with police assistance, and may even sue in
civil court to do so (e.g., an eviction hearing), this has nothing to do with making
criminal charges.
In the case of
criminal trespass, it is the property owner who brings said trespass to the attention of the proper authorities. It is then up the said authorities to act, including the bringing of
criminal charges.
It not up to the prosecutor to make that determination independent of the property owner.
Never said that such decision was made entirely independent of the property owner. I said the bringing of
criminal charges is at the sole discretion of the prosecutor. Obviously, though, if the property owner is not all that interested, and would possibly be a hostile witness, that would weigh heavily upon any decision to bring
criminal charges.
