So you walk up to the mall at 11:00 am on a Sunday, try the door, it's
not locked! You walk in, pick up something and walk out. Have you
broken the law? Yes.
So you walk up to the mall at 11:00 am on a Sunday, try the door, it's
not locked! You walk in, walk around a bit, and a officer of the law
spots you through the glass. Have you broken the law? Will you be
prosecuted??
I don't really know, although you could likely be trespassing. The
average person knows the hours of the mall and isn't open, but I suspect
some are open at 11:00 am on Sunday. What if it was 1:00 am? I suspect
you'd be hauled off and booked.
