California prosecutors address unauthorized entry, varying charges based on intent and location. Simple trespass is a minor offense, while burglary, entering with intent to commit a felony, carries severe penalties. Prosecutors consider factors like forced entry, time of day, and victim presence. 

They aim to protect property rights and deter unlawful intrusions. Enhanced charges apply for entering inhabited dwellings or with criminal intent. They balance punishment with circumstances, potentially offering diversion for minor offenses.
