Trespassers

"I've lived around here for 20 years" But this isn't your property, I bought it. "I've lived around here for 20 years" ...

[@billkaldem5099]

Had a problem like this. Posted the property legally and after prosecuting one trespasser word got out and it stopped.

[@ja6368]

The sad part of owning property is people have no problem using it. I read years ago of retiree who had 4 wheelers using at night and he confronted them. 4 men died because they wanted to argue their right to do what they want.😎

[@dennistate5953]

That was in my county. My dad found the bodies & vehicles. And fertilizer bags.

[@tomiole]

At least there was a happy ending!!!

That was here near Chattanooga.

I've got this going on with my new neighbors. I got the line surveyed and ironically they were on the surveyor in a few seconds flat. "Who are you!" LOL.... I then had some treated fence posts installed every 50 to 100 feet. I want to leave my land lie open for the deer. It's only four acres. Posted signs work wonders.

[@tattooninja]

"ironically" ...Don't you mean LITTERLY ironically ?

[@9995-q1u]

@@tattooninja It's ironic because they are the trespassers yet they acted like the surveyor was a trespasser for walking a few feet on their property while he did his boundary survey. Guess ya had to be there to see the irony.

Trespassing is common and they all should learn that’ll be jail and fined…having said that our Sheriff’s Department wants your support; but you are the problem if you complain…support yourself NOT the Sheriff’s Department! They should be in jail with Mr. Mudaugh

It's some kids and a couple of surveyors? Looks like you need to install a gate.

If governments have the right to just come on my property than I have the right to load it with bear traps. No trespassing means no trespassing

[@thorne79us]

Not just governments but all surveyors have a legal right to be on your property while working , I couldn't just walk on to it because. I felt like it though. You would be surprised at how many times we ended up helping out the folks who yelled at us for being on their land .

[@RBond-vv5rf]

If this is private property I would start putting up some non-lethal boobies traps that always discourages tresspassers

[@713devereux]

These guys are not trespassers but are clearly marked as surveyors. Surveyors do have limited access to your property to determine a boundary to adjacent property. Now you can ask me to leave and I will leave but next thing I will do is to call the sheriffs office have deputy come out and then I will finish my survey. ( Which I have done) Now far as booby traps, if I get injured by a booby trap because Im doing my job let me give you a list of things that will happen. First Im going to have you prosecuted, because if you think it is legal to put booby traps on your property to maim or injure you are sadly mistaken. And second thing I am going to do is find me some "Saul Goodman" type of attorney and sue you. (which I will win) Contrary to popular opinion surveyors aren't exactly over paid and I promise you these surveyors probably have about hundred other things they rather be doing than surveying some angry person land. Just remember we have job to do like everyone else but far too often some crazy wants to give a survey crews a bunch of grief.

[@mtbasshead]

@@713devereux TWO were legal surveyors. The REST were trespassing.

[@paulfenter9543]

Don't you have to notify a property owner as to why you have to be on their property? I don't know of any person who would tell you no. I mean your surveyors. But to say you have certain limited access that even the police/FBI/SHERIFF don't have worries me. The above mentioned all have to have warrants issued due to the 4th amendment to enter your property when they haven't been called there by the owner.

[@mtbasshead]

@@paulfenter9543 they aren't allowed to do a search so it's not a 4th violation. For instance fish and game are even allowed to inspect your firearm and look in your coolers. 100% legal

Purple paint laws. One can paint a few trees, problem solved. Love the camera.

[@bruceaplin]

Thank You. I'm off to get some purple paint 😀

[@ycoyle2803]

Not all states recognize the purple paint but it is another arrow in quiver.

[@will7its]

How does that work???

[@bettylougreen6987]

Purple paint on the trees means no trespassing. In Maryland it is blue paint. However vertical stripe two inches wide by eight inches on at eye level, replaces signs. This allows for people with land to not have to invest in a large number of signs.

[@henryrodgers1752]

In some states it is red paint or purple paint. Read the applicable state law.

[@joe1940]

A gate and a bunch of no trespassing signs would probably stop most of this.

[@icouldbeevil3110]

There's no context in this video. Are all of these people trespassing?

[@marksidorczuk7571]

There should be more wilderness for people to roam. It's not right to trespass on someone else's land, but there's not much countryside if any that isn't work new property. This is why people would rather sit inside and play video games. There's no alternative.

[@whitemonstrius]

Yep, there is nothing left to explore, all art is in video games. Tragic.

[@ronaldwalsh6246]

There is State Parks, Wilderness Areas, National Parks, Game Management Areas, the Appalachian Mountains and Trails etc. All open for your freedom to explore…but don’t get caught violating any rules and laws when it comes to clearing and burning

Geez, there's millions of acres of public lands to roam in just about every state, including yours.

[@LiarNobody]

Different strokes for different folks, but I've never understood the fret about people trespassing through undeveloped portions of land. We have about thirty acres of forest, and there's often people cutting through the back lot for fishing access, or passing between paths during snowmobile season. In many years, the worse we've ever had was a dude who built a hunting stand. Just asked him not to and he politely moved on. Of course within this video, we have no idea how close this path is to the owner's home, so perhaps he has better cause to be concerned.

[@bucurilie-lo4jf]

Same here, what trespassers? People going up and down, joggers etc.

[@wvdave771]

Give a inch and they take a mile , walks turn into poaching. Theft. 4 wheelers , trash dumping , not your land stay off

[@showtimeshoff9570]

Typical liberal answer, until you trip and fall and then want to sue because you got hurt on somebody else property.

[@reb1050]

Maybe some people are like me and don't want strangers on their property. You want to come to my place, drive down the driveway to the house. You want to hike on my property, ask first. Don't go wandering through my wooded areas without permission. In times like we have today, one cannot be too careful. There's a lot of crazies out there.

[@daveholtz2528]

Stupid. People who don't care that you own the property will be VERY "concerned" about ownership when they fall and break their ankle while traipsing through your land. And then they sue you. F*ck all of them. They are thieves and vandals.

Read your state statutes before making videos documenting your ignorance of the law. In order to be “trespassed” an individual must be warned: the property is private; permission to enter or remain is withheld and denied; specific legal consequences will follow. Signage is often the best option.
