It may be easier to prosecute, but a "blanket" post law that had similar
definition to the UK has been on the books for several years now.

As usual, Louisiana is finally catching up to the rest of the
world. g) Even backward (and getting ever more backward)
Florida has had that law for many years now. Can't imagine why
you'd think it's too extreme. I certainly don't want strangers
wandering over MY land, for whatever reason.

Including liability. Isn't that sad.

======================
Similar laws apply in my state, Louisiana. Our legislature
passed new legislation this session making it much easier to
prosecute for trespass in response to problems with wood arson
and vandalism. Property owners are no longer required to post
their lands in order to prosecute. I'm a bit concerned that this
is too extreme, but I understand that this was deemed necessary,
because vandals would simply steal the 'no trespassing' signs and
evade prosecution unless caught red-handed. Alan Walker

Justice Act, allow prosecution for trespass. Permission must be
obtained, if you move off
public rights of way, to wander on private land anywhere in the
Simply being off the footpath can be an offence.
