Trespassers in Godfrey

May Hull | Jan 29, 2020

In a city you wouldn’t walk into someone’s back yard or park your car on their grass, yet that’s exactly what’s happening to friends, neighbours and yours truly here. I don’t understand how people can ignore clear ownership (a shed, a trailer, a fence etc) or posted signs that state: “No trespassing, private property.” Is it because we live in the countryside? I’d like to make it crystal clear that it is a criminal offence and falls under the Trespass To Property Act. Just because you think nobody is around doesn’t give you the right to go onto someone else’s land. How would you like people driving on your lawn or walking their dogs in your yard? Nobody wants strangers walking around on their property, so why would you do it to others?
