There need to be something done to protect the daily Railfan so that He or She can enjoy their hobby without the worry about going to jail. We Railfans love our Hobby we just don't liked to be harassed all the time be others. I also know that there alot of cops who are very friendly and will pass on by just giveing a wave but other cops would rather just be a ***! BNSFrailfan. [/quote] This is kind of my point. If rail fans practice their hobby responsibly, I think the intrusion caused by all of this stuff will be minimal. Like it our not, it is your duty to know whether you are trespassing. If you are on a piece of land, and you are trespassing and don't know it, it is no defense to say "I didn't know." There are many places I would like to go and look at trains, but I don't because it is trespassing. That may mean I have to drive another 10 minutes to find a spot where I have a right to be where I am. The other thing is, if we as a group get a reputation as confrontationalists with officers, it is not going to help our hobby. If you think you have a right to be standing where you are and an officer asks you to leave, be polite, ask him what law you are breaking, leave, go check the officer's facts and if he is wrong come back or file a complaint.
