Unfortunately I’m on a greencard here in the US, and trespass is a felony - I really don’t want to risk deportation over this so for the time being I am abstaining!
From my experience, there are multiple flavors of trespassing charges. In my case, I was charged with a rather meaningful version, and it was reduced to a lighter one. However, they were both misdemeanors.
But it all comes down to the jurisdiction as to what laws are on the books. I guess my takeaway is that you would have to really have to push it to be charged with some sort of felony over trespassing.
Interesting. I just looked up the law in California and indeed its treated as a misdemeanor, and a felony only in specific circumstances (i.e. aggravated entry).
Interestingly, specifically part of the CA trespass law:
taking soil, dirt, or stone off of someone else’s land without permission
