[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 718261, member: 2426"] It would depend on if people are present in the house and what you do in the house. If there are people at home, and a person enters the home without authorization, it is quite possible that they could be charged with assault, as the people in the house could have a reasonable apprehension of receiving a violent injury. If you defeat a locked door, then there might be damage to the door or a jury could decide that the locked door qualifies as notice from the owner that you aren't allowed to enter. There are items that qualify as inference of intent, such as looking through cabinets and drawers. If a person arrive at home and discovers an unauthorized person is looking in enclosed areas, a jury can legally assume that the person had intent to commit a crime. Note that I am not saying that it is OK to enter someone's house without permission. I am only saying that the act of "entering" doesn't violate any statutes that I know of. (I have to throw in the I am not a lawyer disclaimer. I can search through and read statutes and notes with those statutes, but I am not a legal expert.) EDIT: As I said I am not an expert. If you know of any Georgia statute that would make "entering a house" illegal, point me to it and I will read it to see if it does apply. [/QUOTE]
