Safety and legal framework
Urbex is legally complex. Trespass laws vary widely by country and site status. Breaking in is always a crime — picking a lock, breaking a window, climbing a fence with No Trespassing signs. Emergency number in the US: 911. Urbex Legends documents sites but never validates their current state.
