Under what conditions may a person be found guilty of a trespass offence according to the Act?

  1. They enter a location where entry is prohibited or engage in forbidden activity or refuse to leave when asked

  2. They are found in possession of stolen property on the premises

  3. They are unable to provide identification upon request

  4. They are found loitering near the premises with no clear purpose

The correct answer is: They enter a location where entry is prohibited or engage in forbidden activity or refuse to leave when asked

A person may be found guilty of a trespass offence according to the Act if they enter a location where entry is prohibited, engage in forbidden activity within the premises, or refuse to leave when asked. This is because trespassing typically involves entering a property without permission or engaging in prohibited conduct while on someone else's property. Possession of stolen property on the premises, being unable to provide identification upon request, and loitering near the premises with no clear purpose are not conditions for a trespass offence and would not result in a guilty charge. These actions may still be against the law, but they are not considered trespassing under the conditions outlined in the Act.
