    You know what I meant - there are certain laws that are technically illegal but are never treated as serious crimes by the police, the public or anyone. IE jaywalking, going a couple of mph over the speed limit etc.

    Misdemeanors is the word you're looking for in the American legal system.

    Trespassing is one of those too.

    First, IANAL and this may vary from state to state, but I actually think most of those would be civil infractions, which are even less serious than misdemeanors. Trespassing I believe is generally considered a misdemeanor and not a civil infraction.
