Any person who, in order to take possession of land or tenement, enters on the land or tenement in a violent manner, whether the violence consists in actual force applied to any other person or in threats or in breaking open any house or in collecting an unusual number of people, commits the misdemeanour termed forcible entry; it is immaterial whether he or she is entitled to enter on the land or not; except that a person who enters upon his or her own land or tenement, but which are in the custody of his or her servant or bailiff, does not commit the offence of forcible entry.
