Tresspassing Slob Hunters, Part II

   / Tresspassing Slob Hunters, Part II #152  
I had someone drive onto my field (I mow it weekly so it is really my big backyard) and do donuts with a car, ripping up the ground quite a bit. I called the state police (live in their jurisdiction) and was told even if they could catch the driver, I have no case because I did not have signs posted to keep out. I was fuming, and thought about doing donuts in the lawn at the State Police barracks - they have no signs out either! So needless to say, I bought no trespassing signs and posted them. Its sad when we have to post no trespassing or it is acceptable to do donuts in your lawn!

I hear ya !!! People that come onto your property unwelcome drive me nuts

I find this whole state of Connecticut to be that way.... maddening

All land herein Alabama is considered "Posted by law". Don't need any signs but I still put up some no-trespassing signs just to remind the idiots on 4 wheelers.

Your post is ironic.

The article MossRoad posted details the history of usage.

Yes it is.

I've never seen someone get so fired up about "ignorance". Makes you wonder if there is more to the story. But no matter what anyone says it will get the same response.

"No it's ignorance" LOL

Read the article. There is no state statute anywhere that says the word, ''POSTED" should be on a sign anywhere. It's there purely because people read that they need to post a sign, or that a sign needs to be posted, and in their ignorance of that simple English word they think they need to put the actual word there.

As for getting worked up about ignorance, look at our last election and tell me it doesn't matter.


But no matter what anyone says it will get the same response.

"No it's ignorance"


That's because I'm trying to be polite and refrain from calling it what it really is: stupidity.

I don't understand why it's such a big deal if the sign says posted or not. Most of them come printed that way.

Yeah, a lot of people get offended by the work ignorant. That's because the word has been used as an insult for so many years. One should know that the majority of folks would not take kindly to being called ignorant these days, even if used in the proper context.

Well, if you were going to insult, do it properly. Call them an ignoramus!
