Actually, in most jurisdictions trying strangers' doorknobs is
probably misdemeanor disorderly conduct, typically punishable by fines
of a few hundred dollars and jail for a few months. More often than
not used as a threat: "Sir, you need to leave the neighborhood or
you'll be arrested and charged with disorderly conduct."
That's what "disorderly conduct" is for: folks who are obviously doing
something they ought not be doing but for which an explicit law has
not been written.
