Pennsylvania Consolidated & Unconsolidated Statutes
Chapter 5 - General Principles of Justification
Section 510 - Justification in property crimes


Conduct involving the appropriation, seizure or destruction of, damage to, intrusion on or interference with property is justifiable under circumstances which would establish a defense of privilege in a civil action based thereon, unless:
(1) this title or the law defining the offense deals with the specific situation involved; or
(2) a legislative purpose to exclude the justification claimed otherwise plainly appears.
