    You also have “freedom to roam” laws. Or at least in the UK.

    Even in the US, no reasonable person would think someone going up to the door would be trespassing. But these kids did more than that, they hopped the fence and walked around the house. That could definitely be trespassing.

    That said, it’s absolutely no excuse to shoot them. At most you say “hey get off my lawn”.

      Exactly. Tell them to leave and in the worst case some landowner might threaten to punch them.
