(6,324 posts)The law is clear.
A property owner or their legal representative has the right to trespass a person from a property.
There is no right of a patron to remain on property if the owner does not want them there.
So the law is fairly one sided on this regard. Only one side of such a dispute has the legal right to determine who is allowed to remain on the property.
The only way they can avoid that is to choose to say screw it, we are going to ignore the law.
And thats not how it works. And that isnt how you should want cops to work, to show up to calls and say well the law say X, but we dont really care so you folks have a good day and we dont care what you do.
Now, the law does provide remedies for people wrongfully removed in cases like this- but that comes later in court in civil cases. It doesnt change the part about what the law says about trespassing.
