trespasser

trespasser
tres·pass·er /'tres-ˌpa-sər, --/ n: one who trespasses; esp: one who enters or remains on the real property of another wrongfully or without the owner's or possessor's authority or consent compare invitee, licensee
The general rule is that the owner or possessor of real property has the duty merely to refrain from willfully, wantonly, or recklessly injuring a trespasser whose presence is known. This rule is usu. applied to licensees as well, although a licensee is usu. owed a higher degree of care when an entrance fee is charged or when active operations (as of machinery) are taking place on the property.
