Someone asked about trespassing on rail property, and what the fines would be. I've routinely made arrests on industrial properties. The shop foreman or another high muckity muck has invited "his" local deputy out to make an arrest on someone who is on his property. Have never responded to an NS complaint, but they are tolerant to a point... There are four variants of criminal trespass in the State of Alabama. All of them are misdemeanors or violations- about the rough equivalent of a traffic ticket. In one incident, I made an arrests on six people who were driving around a quarry on their four wheelers. Five bailed out within two hours. The sixth guy tried to run me over with his four wheeler... he spent a couple of months in jail. Really aggressive officers can and do make arrests on people who are transients... just hanging around in front of convenience stores. (I've seen it happen in Arizona and in Alabama... and I'm fairly sure it happens elsewhere.) This is usually a case of some person who is being "mainstreamed" into society from mental health... and the only social service available to them is the County Hilton, where they get fed, showered and have a semi safe place to sleep. The truth about "public" property is that a great deal of property open to "the public" is private... and the owners can get sticky about your presence there. There are also local laws going into effect for transients in the Atlanta area... which includes warnings, fines, and a trip to jail. Cops generally enforce trespassing when there's a complaint called in by a citizen or a property owner. Hope that answers your question. Erik
