FAQ

Trespass is an area of criminal law or tort law broadly divided into three groups: trespass to the person, trespass to chattels, and trespass to land.

Mississippi is a Castle Doctrine state and has a stand your ground law. A person who is not the initial aggressor and is not engaged in unlawful activity shall have no duty to retreat before using deadly force if the person is in a place where the person has a right to be.

Mississippi has a stand your ground law that removes the duty to retreat before using deadly force in defense of oneself or another as long as the person is not the initial aggressor and is in a place they have a right to be.

So long as you are trespassing with the intent to commit any crime on the listed properties, and are caught you'll be charged with a felony and punished with a $5,000 fine or a five-year stay in prison or both.

Your Responsibilities As A Landowner However, in Mississippi a landowner owes no duty to a trespasser except to not willfully or wantonly injure him. In other words, don't shoot or assault a trespasser.

Mississippi trespass laws provide that trespassing is a misdemeanor with fines of $150-$250 for first offenses. For second offenses (occurring within five years), punishment can include fines of $250-$500 and possibly imprisonment for 10-30 days.

(i) Willfully opening, tearing down, or otherwise destroying any fence on the enclosed land of another, or opening any gate, bar, or fence of another and willfully leaving it open without the written permission of the owner, or maliciously tearing down, mutilating, or destroying any sign, signboard, or other notice
