Trespass
Wis. Stat. 943.13 — land is a Class B forfeiture; a dwelling is a Class A misdemeanor
Land: a Class B forfeiture. Entering enclosed, cultivated or undeveloped land of another without express or implied consent, or entering or staying on anyone's land after the owner or occupant said not to, is a Class B forfeiture in Wisconsin, up to $1,000.
A dwelling: a Class A misdemeanor. Intentionally entering or staying in someone else's dwelling, occupied or not, without consent of a person lawfully there or of the owner, under circumstances tending to create or provoke a breach of the peace, is a Class A misdemeanor.
Implied consent is conduct or words that imply the owner or occupant consented to entry. A notice not to enter aimed only at stopping a licensee from carrying a firearm does not make the licensee a trespasser under the notice provision, though a residence's owner or occupant may bar entry while carrying.
