I'm thinking of buying these and if anyone else is interested:No Trespassing Signs (pair) What it says on the second sign is classic: "Any official, agent, or person(s) entering this property without the consent or the owner without proper warrant as described above, will be treated as an invasive species and disease vector."

I really like this. But, can most of the neoferrious ash wipes that arrive unanounced read and comprehend the words printed there? Or will they press on with the last simple order received in their pea brains. Ie; "git em Barney".
This is really a sore point with me. I have on two separate occasions got the drop on a single plain clothes officer who was wandering around on my property. Things get a little dicey when you suddenly announce in a loud voice from behind them and with a big tree for cover, "Can I help You, Are you Lost?". I do not like unannounced stealth visits by anyone. There are two gates you must pass through to get to my place. I am 2.4 miles off pavement. 1.2 miles off county maintained dirt road. The gates are posted with various signs. Private road, guests and residents only. No Tresspassing. Keep Out. No Hunting. No Salesmen. . I have considered a self generated sign along the lines of; Private Property, Unannounced Visitors enter at their own peril, It is public record who lives here, my phone number is listed in the phone book, call me! Do not tresspass! Violators if they survive will be prosecuted when they are released from the hospital. Warning, my dogs are equal opportunity feeders, they don't care who they eat. etc etc . But, I have to admit, I like your signs. I am really considering putting up a "Read This" shielded covered notice board right next to the last gate. More and more I keep the gate closed and locked. . Out here in the country it is only common courtesy to drive up to a house or building and toot the horn and wait a minute or more before you get out of your vehicle unarmed (or at least with your carry piece completely concealed), and walk up to the house or building to knock on the door. I often announce loudly (not hard with my big mouth) "Hello the house". . People of all ilk, officials, LEO's or what ever should take heed or expect to be greeted with less than a friendly demeanor. . I have considered putting my name and phone number on the signs or notice board, but why give out private information that really is available publicly anyway?
You might also look into USC title 18.Don't remember the exact section but some years ago a lawyer pointed me to them to keep officials off my land. Works for keeping individuals off too.Could have changed by now though.
I thought that a police officer may come on to your property at any time, if investigating a crime, but could not come into your dwelling or curtilage without a warrant.
This question is mostly determined by State Statutes, for each State.... There are some states where Private Property, is just that Private... and a Warrant IS Required, for entry on a Legally POSTED Property. Also in many States such a warrant needs to be SERVED, on the Owner, of said Property, at the time of the intrusion. Of course the LEOs can do anything they want, right up until they get into a Court of Law, at which point an Owner can SUE the Pants, Shirt, and everything they OWN, off them should they violate, either, or, both State Statutes, and Constitutional Civil Rights. This is where you need the worst RatFink Slimy, Pitbull, Legal Mouthpiece you can find. If the LEOs screwed the Pooch, on the Warrant, the Criminal and Civil Damages, can be in the 6 and 7 figures, depending on the Jury that hears the Case, and the Judge who handles the testimony. ..... YMMV.....
This was added (hand written) last month on the sign that is at the locked gate, only access, to the property: "THIS INCLUDES ALL PUBLIC OFFICIALS OR AGENTS THEREOF WITHOUT PROPER AUTHORITY UNDER CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT IV"
Fences and CLOSED gates make it a no trespassing zone in most states. Exceptions in my state is Game Wardens. Under normal (what ever that may mean to most) conditions a LEO that does not have "cause" or a warrant cannot enter. What that means in my real world is that I have talked with a LEO face to face with my closed gate between us, knowing that if I stepped out side my property line then he could arrest and detain me. He knew I knew the facts and he was oh so polite. This all came about by a deranged neighbor nuts on prescription drugs that had phoned in a false report on me. Yes we do need better laws for the mentally ill for the neighbor is still out there (albeit someplace else) and the LEO was informed by me that she was a nut case and I'd come out after she had been arrested and he had a warrant for me. Locked gates are a PITA but worth the trouble. Know your state laws, be armed but keep them concealed, even on your own property. YMMV
