How do you conquer "no trespassing" signs?

[cgipson1]

Intent goes a long way. Be polite and explain and you should be fine. Remember that nothing is illegal until you get caught.

Yea.. sure! Like RAPE.. if you don't get caught, it's ok, right?

Yeah, entering an abandoned place with a camera is hardly unethical. Just leave everything as it was.

And if you fall down, go boom? Who is responsible for saving your stupid butt, and paying your healthcare bills? Ah... the PROPERTY OWNER.. thats who, even though you were ILLEGALLY trespassing, The Owner gets the shaft! Because in our society, you could probably sue and win... how stupid is that?

So you are saying it is not UNETHICAL to ignore NO TRESSPASSING SIGNS?

There is something NOT funny about rape... think about it.

Charlie, you just have me motivation to ignore the signs! Free money for an illegally broken ankle! Sweeeet!

I agree totally! And how many property owners have been financially RAPED by idiots that injured themselves while trespassing? I used to ride ambulances... it happens more often then you think. Most of the time it is adolescents... or druggies... sometimes in places even the homeless are too smart to go!

Unpopular, is that what you do?

mile markers or miles from an intersection, Google map overhead view, county maps will show property lines I have had luck with "I need info on the land behind the marks farm on cr9 the lot I believe butts cr12 about 3 miles from the intersection of cr2 and cr12 "
Go around to the nearest house and ask folks in the woods KNOW who's land is who's most of the time

Just a heads up it is hunting season so be near the road going into the woods before dawn by about an hour and you may get to meet the owner as the go in to hunt. Also after dark when they come out.

"I wanna know the information on that empty lot on Old Rt13 in Morrisville" they reply "Which one?".............."uhhhhhhhh, ya know, the one across the street from the one with the tree...?"

Get where I'm going with this?

They make things called plat maps.

That is just the most STUPID thing I've ever heard. You don't have to sue the property owner, and if you're insured then you can opt to pay the bill yourself to avoid it - not that it really matters if you violated trespassing signs.

Guess I have to go to the stupid courthouse then. 45 minute drive to find out who owns the property 5 minutes from my house. Smh

Try online search first. Find the county web site.

How many of the people that trespass are insured, do you think? The vast majority? Or hardly any of them? And will a Insurance company cover injuries suffered during unethical, illegal, risk-taking behavior?

If some 16 year old stoner see you, the illustrious insured photographer, climbing a fence to go shoot in dangerous area, is he going to walk away? Or is he going to think, "Wow.. must be something cool there... need to check it out!"

Oh.. and you didn't answer the 2ND PART of my Question : "So you are saying it is not UNETHICAL to ignore NO TRESSPASSING SIGNS?"

confession time. While I no longer use this tactic it used to be pretty common for me to treat those "no trespassing" signs as more of a suggestion than a commandment. If I needed to get to a good fishing hole or photo vantage point I simply ignored the no trespassing sign and went ahead. For the record, I never left a piece of trash or any evidence that I had been there. If there was a gate with a padlock I used a pickset that I had with me to pick the lock. I was legally permitted to carry one for my work, by the way.
But that was then and this is now.. Today I would not intrude into an area where I was not welcome under any circumstances. If I can't get permission I forget about it.
I think that's probably the best policy.

Don't really appreciate what? I'm asking if you ignore the sign, do your thing, and leave? I'll assume you would take care of whatever might happen while you're there, you seem like a decent person.
