NOTE: this is not a rant or dig on LEO's in general, whom I sincerely respect and appreciate unless they individually prove otherwise, just this particular pair of fuckups in this particular instance.
Not to side-track the thread, but I looked this up, because it's not what I have learned. Apparently, it's a topic of some debate.

My research shows that entering private property which is posted is criminal trespass. The owner does not have to tell you to leave and then call the cops if you don't. The owner can call the cops right away. Whether or not you will be arrested, charged, and prosecuted is a different question. Please raise your wallet if you'd like to be the test case.

What I've heard is that if the owner asks you to leave, do so. Promptly. If the owner calls the cops, stay, get out your cell phone, and take pictures of the entry and any signs which may or may not be posted. What you really don't want to have happen is the owner to call the cops, then go put up a sign while you wait.

Note that in the James Mapes case, the theater into which he open carried was not posted. The simple reason that all charges were dropped against him is that he did not violate any laws.
