Illegalism is an anarchist philosophy which embraces criminality as a lifestyle. It's the second part of the renowned and enlightened charter: "Be Gay, Do Crime"

This is a place for exchanging tricks & experiences, discussing trends & events, sharing shitposts, and connecting criminality to theory & praxis.

I don't know where you live, but in my layman understanding of the law the police has nothing on you if you just walk on land that is not immediately recognizable as belonging to someone (e.g. not fenced), and you don't damage anything that would obviously belong to someone (like trampling a field of grain).

Maybe the owner could come and rightly tell you to fuck off their land, maybe they could call the police and they could then say the same, but they can't fine you or anything. It's not a crime.

Yeah it's the same here afaik, as long as you have plausible deniability, but I found myself in a situation a couple hours ago in which my deniability wasn't very plausible due to all the warning signs I walked past πŸ˜…

Sounds like a fun excursion. What happened in the end?

I ran back into the woods and went the long way around back to my car lol

Yeah talking to cops to explain your innocence is not a thing to do unless you've got active warrants or are currently top priority for the camps or something.

Yeah it’s a tough sell

And also you shouldn't be talking to cops
