What rights do I have when a "NO TRESPASSING" sign is posted?

Answer 1

The rights vary vastly from local to local.

In general: properly posted, the sign is considered "due notice" eliminating the "I did not know" defense, and in some states elevates the trespass from misdemeanor trespass (a ticket) to criminal trespass (offender gets to try on handcuffs).

I hope that gives you some perspective.

Answer 2

Unless you own the property, you have the right to stay off the property. If you own the property, you have the right to call the police to remove anyone trespassing. Unless local law specifically grants additional rights, or the trespasser possess a threat to someone, you can't forcibly remove them yourself.

Answer 3

Practically none. A "no trespassing" sign implies private property. Dunno where you're at but here in Texas the property owner can shoot you, plant a knife on your corpse, and claim self-defense.

Barring such extreme reactions about the only right you have is to be given one chance to get your tail off the property.

Answer 4

Depends on the circumstances. You generally don't have a right to go onto the property. However, you usually can do things like walk up and knock on the door or something of that nature.

Answer 5

Are you the tresspasser...or were you trespassed upon?

Answer 6

Is it your property? If not none.

Answer 7

What do you mean? Is it your sign?

Answer 8

"You have the right to remain silent...If you give up that right..."

Answer 9

if its not your property NONE.
