Jabba is correct.

Don't land anywhere unless you have prior permission (preferably written) and this permission should include your required details.

I once was almost fined 10 ($5,500) demerit points by our friends at CASA for almost landing at an ALA without permission (I didn't touch down). I did have permission but it was not from the appropriately authorized person. From now on, it's written permission or an SMS as a minimum.
Squawk7700 this has me baffled. What is the regulation that you supposedly breached to result in the threat of a $5500 fine?

You may not have a right to land somewhere without permission, however that is very different to it being a criminal offence under CARs/CAOs to land somewhere without permission.
