local trespassing laws

[gothstone]

Obviously the idea is not to get caught, but if you are what are the local laws? Does anyone know the max fine, max jail time, etc? Anyone know the common fines?

Ive been caught twice, both times i was very lucky and the police let us go. i need to look up these laws because i believe that the third time i wont be so lucky.

Kansas has never charged anyone with tresspassing if there wasn't a "No Trespassing" sign. Different story with Missouri.

[gothstone]

good to know if I'm on Kansas side, but do you know the story in Missouri? Man, its so F*CKED up liveing so close to a state border, makes every thing twice as hard. I'm ok over here, but not here... Hell, I wonder what happens if your arested on state line rd?

gHell, I wonder what happens if your arested on state line rd?

Then I think they spend hours on minutia like "Well, his shoelace was more on this side of the street", and break out the Civil Engineers to re-survey the state borders going down the middle of the street. Or not.

LOL! Sorry my earlyer post was so bitchy. I had just got off the phone with a friend who was going exploring with me tonight. He's from Canada, and been here over a year. Doen't work, or break any other laws, so no one really cares. he's afraid that if he gets caught somewhere they will deport him. Stupid laws suck.

I went on google and looked for the laws. i didnt find out much other than in missouri light purple paint is the same as a no trespass sign, and that its illegal to take pictures of animals in a barn. also that in most cases trespass is a misdemeanor. its not much help but its all i can find.

The purple paint is the same, but *someone correct me if I'm wrong* it won't hold up in a court of law. Meaning it's not a legal in the books and our consititution way of saying no trespassing, it just means the same. I really hope that made sense.

and that its illegal to take pictures of animals in a barn.

I think that one is due to what might actually be going on when taking pictures in a barn... It does get lonely and cold in the winter and all...

[thetrio]

LOL! I read a little bit on why you cant tike pictures of barn animals, and it has to do with animal rights activists trespessing to get pics of "abused" work animals.

ewwwwww I hadn't thought enough on why it would be illegal to take pictures of animals in barns....

[thetrio]

And to think, its usually the larger animals in the barns

[youthsonic]

yeah, I suppose the horses and cows would keep you warm...

[thetrio]

All barn animals aside I did find out that in missouri a civil suit can be brought against you if you get caught. this on top of any criminal charges.

I maintain that if you can run fast enough none of this will be an issue.
