2010 Pennsylvania Code
Title 18 - CRIMES AND OFFENSES
Chapter 5 - General Principles of Justification
510 - Justification in property crimes.

     § 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.
