some state legislators and AGs are also suggesting land/home owners post 'no trespassing' signs; which we have now done in addition to 'no soliciting'. Here in Ohio, it's a violation of ORC 2911.21 by simply reading the sign and trespassing anyways. Granted, it's only a 4th degree misdemeanor, but it's something and gives us legal recourse - at a local and state level; since HIPAA privacy rule and 4th AD are seemingly moot. I haven't dug further yet, but I would assume, carefully, that these violations in the aggregate can lead us to believe these knockers to be aggressors and therefore dealt with commensurately.
Patriot, if it is posted then just call LE and request them removed and charged. You are under no obligation to answer the door. This way only LE makes contact and then you can meet them at the Magistrates Office. I agree this is in total violation of HIPPA, I would have my Attorney involved also.
Absolutely, my brother. Signs posted, cameras mounted, and counsel sought. I would agree that we are not obligated to answer the door, but I also believe that we must make a stand. I will not tolerate state-sponsored bullying.
Patriot, I agree with making a stand, time to have them and those appointed above them in Court facing a Civil lawsuit. Make them pay you and your Atty Fees .
