Trespass is not a criminal offence. It's a civil offence. You cannot be
prosecuted for trespass, nor can you be sued for trespass unless you have
caused damage or loss. There is an implied permission to walk up a driveway
and knock on a front door, however if you're asked to leave and you refuse,
then you become a trespasser and the homeowner may use reasonable force to
move you.
