unauthorized entry

Breaking in unlawfully

Unauthorized entry is the act of going into a place without permission or legal right to do so.

It covers a range of situations from entering someone's property without consent to crossing restricted areas or borders illegally.

The term appears frequently in legal contexts, security protocols, and property law, where it may constitute trespassing or a more serious offense depending on intent and circumstances.
