§ 1581 Consent Communication Requirements
This law says that a person can give consent just by doing something or by not doing something that shows they agree.
A neighbor leaves their garden gate open and doesn't stop you from walking through to retrieve a lost ball.
Leaving the gate open and not saying anything can be seen as agreeing to let you pass, so your entry is considered consented.
