Is it an offense to knock on someone's door and run?

is it an offence to knock on some ones door and run?

If you mean illegal, my guess is no. However, I'm not a lawyer.

I guess it could be seen as harassment (which is an offense...)
But that really would be pushing it...

no but they can call the cops and they'll get pertty mad

It's not against the law, but some people consider it rude.

Don't worry too much about it, it's a common prank for giggles and junk.

its fun... but the people might have called the police... but hopefully you'll be well away by then. X

No, it's not illegal, however, a boy was killed in florida few years ago for playing this game. The homeowner felt threatened and shot the boy who stumbled to a neighbors yard before he collapsed dead. It's really not worth the risk. Also, you could be charged with trespassing and/or vandalism in some cases.

it's well fun 4 da people doin it, an reeeaaally annoyin 4 every1 els

Dear gabbydoctor,
I do believe you could be charged with trespassing since you had no intent to visit the person.
Sue...good luck

its not illegal to play ding dong ditch/ ni**a knock and its not trespassing unless they have a no trespassing sign...
