In America we don’t have any sort of “right to roam” law, sadly. If you want to feel even more smug and mock my country, wait until you watch this: youtu.be/yBrtWXBhuuo

In the west there is a grid pattern of land like a checker board. Like this:

X O X O
O X ? X
X ? X O
O X O X

The Xs are private property and you cannot access them. The Os are public property. The ?s in the middle are public property, but how do you get to them? The only way is by crossing through a corner. Obviously, the private land owners would prefer to view the public land as an extension of their private land so they believe that corner crossing should be illegal because it passes through their property. (Even if you don’t step on it you have to cross through their airspace so to speak.) Meanwhile, everyone else says, “hey, you can’t just double your land like this! Let me have access to the public land! What the hell do you mean airspace? I’m not a plane! I’m a person! And I didn’t step on your property!”
