What does it mean to commit trespassing?

Committing trespassing specifically refers to the act of remaining on someone else's property without the legal right to do so. This violation of property rights occurs when an individual enters or stays on land without the owner's consent. It emphasizes the lack of permission and the unlawful nature of the presence on that property, regardless of the purpose for being there.

In contrast, the other options indicate scenarios in which there is either permission granted or no infringement on property rights. For example, entering someone's property with permission clearly would not constitute trespassing, nor would visiting a friend's house if that friend has invited you over. Additionally, using public sidewalks does not pertain to trespassing, as sidewalks are typically accessible to the public and do not involve entering private property. Thus, the correct understanding of trespassing hinges on wrongful presence—remaining on someone else's property without right or consent.
