I tend to think the term “victimless crime” is almost never applicable, but I’m really struggling to see an injured party here.

- Thorrez 7y agoA police response costs money. But generally would trespassing be considered a victimless crime? If you find out that someone trespassed, that might cause psychological harm. But if someone trespasses and no one notices, I guess that might be victimless. If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around, does it make a sound?
- chmod775 7y ago> A police response costs money. Police is already paid for with taxes. Writing bills for police responses not only creates wrong incentives, it's also redundant. There can be fines for calling the police frivolously, but that's a different matter.
