Generally, it's not illegal to guide someone to a destination without their explicit permission, especially in public spaces. However, there might be exceptions depending on the context and specific actions taken.
Elaboration:
- Public Spaces:
In most public places, you have the right to move freely, and others generally don't have the right to restrict your movement unless they have a legal reason to do so. - Reasonable Expectations of Privacy:
If you're in a private space (like someone's home or office) and are not invited, then leading someone to a destination within that space could be considered trespassing or an invasion of privacy. - Intentional Misdirection:
If you intentionally misguide someone, with the intent of causing them harm or inconvenience, that could potentially lead to legal issues. - In situations where a person is being led to a place against their will,
this could be considered a form of false imprisonment, which is illegal. - Age and Capacity:
If the person you are guiding is a minor or someone with a cognitive impairment, extra care should be taken to ensure their well-being and safety. It might be advisable to seek permission from their parent or guardian in such cases.
This does beg the question. Is ripping off an illegal alien a crime in America. The victim is not a US citizen. And we are not talking violent crime.
What if he kept enough for gas money and then gave the rest back.

It's still theft even if the victim is an illegal. However, "holding" the money for the illegal till he returns to the country of his origin and then giving it back is justified.
