Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A person may use the defense of helping someone in danger as a justification for trespassing on land in order to save a life. However, this defense is limited to situations where it was necessary for the person to enter the land to prevent harm or save a life, and they acted in a reasonable and responsible manner. The other options, such as ignorance or lack of awareness, would not typically serve as a defense to the tort of trespass. A state hunting license may allow someone to hunt on private land, but it would not necessarily justify trespassing on the land for any other purpose. Stupidity is not a recognized legal defense.
