I'm so mad over crap like this I can't hardly even write this comment!
Now I know every place is different, but I actually had someone trespassing on my property one time. I asked an officer to arrest this person, because "trespassing" duh! I was told you can't have someone arrested for trespassing the first time they do it! You have to make out a report and an officer has to inform said person that a report has been filed and if they ever do it again, Then you can ask for them to be arrested. Except, an officer has to see the tresspass! They will not just take your word for it. Also, your report on file will be thrown out after so many weeks.
In other words, the only people that get arrested for trespassing are the people that the law enforcement officers Want to charge with trespassing!
All a load of bullshit!
I was told you can't have someone arrested for trespassing the first time they do it!
This is exactly how this works - when they are first caught, you have them 'trespassed' from the property - it is essentially legal notice that they may not return. It does work both ways - when you see 'state land - no trespassing', you have to be trespassed first to be trespassing. Basically, you can do what you want, so long as you don't get caught.
Is this more jewish 'lawyering' of the letter of the law vs spirit of the law? Maybe, but that is actually how trespass works. An 'unauthorized personnel will be shot' sign is far scarier than a 'no trespassing' sign.
Yep. And that's why I now have "unauthorized personnel will be shot" signs up now that I learned that.
That sign doesnt work dude. You cant even shoot someone in your own home in a castle doctrine state if you leave your front door open.
where im from you tell em 'if you dont get off my property ill arrest you for trespass' and then if they dont leave you arrest them for trespass. cops can choose not to charge or hold them but i absolutely have the right to arrest,
now if the dude comes back, i can reasonably assume that its because they dont just want to hang around my property. They already know now they aint allowed here, and so if they come back, i dont even ask them to leave, i just arrest them for... Burglary (trespass with intent to commit a further offence)
Sounds like the way to do it!
So shoot them?
