Conduct involving the appropriation, seizure or destruction of, damage to, intrusion on or interference with property is justifiable under circumstances which would establish a defense of privilege in a civil action based thereon, unless:

(2) a legislative purpose to exclude the justification claimed otherwise plainly appears.
