No. Unlocked door != legal entry. "Breaking" in B&E doesn't require any physical damage. Pushing open an unlocked door or entering a place without authorization counts. If I leave my home to go to the store, and leave the door unlocked and someone walks in, they are still committing a crime.

There are also no tenant protections for criminal intruders, squatter protections require a claim of right like a disputed lease or a holdover tenancy, or continuous possession over many years. Someone that just walks into a residence is an active trespasser and can be arrested for criminal trespass or burglary.

This is not how it works. Even a cursory glance at the law makes it clear that this is not how it works.

Funny enough, I had some valuable stuff (including my passport!) stolen from my car, which I'd left unlocked because I was moving some heavy boxes. The police in my area (bay area) said they couldn't really do anything about it because they didn't break a window.

I don't know exactly what legal technicalities are involved, but this did actually happen to me in a de facto sense!

That’s like saying it’s not manslaughter if you kill a woman because no ”man” died.

Laws around breaking and entering date back to WELL before mechanical locks were commonplace or even affordable to residences.

Do not try this at homes that belong to other people.

No it doesnt, that's still breaking and entering

Ha this is the logic Richard Chase used to enter peoples homes

lmao you dumbass
