A similar case in VA had the state official sneak in wearing camouflage and steal the person's property: https://ij.org/case/virginia-open-fields/ I really have to wonder how it would be ruled if he had ran out with a gun and shot at the thief.

Similar things have happened a few times (eg [1]) often no charges are filed
