| Sep 1, 2023 at 17:06 | comment | added | Tiger Guy | @DJohnM, that is a separate topic. If I tell you to enter my neighbors house, is that lawful or not for you? I really don't know, and you probably need a real lawyer to work through the intricacies for your particular state according to the statues at play. The way to actually detemine these things is a trial. | |
