Trespass is not a criminal offence.

Nowhere in yhe thread has it been suggested that it is.

It's a civil offence.

As has been stated several times in this thread.

You cannot be
prosecuted for trespass,

I don't remember anyone suggesting that you could, and Nick certainly didn't.

nor can you be sued for trespass unless you have
caused damage or loss.

Yes you can.

There is an implied permission to walk up a driveway
and knock on a front door,

I don't know how you work that out. Your right to enter anyone's
property to knock on their door is conditional. Try knocking on Old
Molly's 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.

Why are you telling us all this? Are you a troll, or just
comprehensionally challenged?
