Message: <blockquote data-quote="KDM" data-source="post: 246570" data-attributes="member: 314">I received a response to my email from Senator Oley L. Larson and my reply is below his.  Enjoy "Will you say the same thing when some one comes and squats on your land and leaves a big mess and then goes to court and the judge asks  the squatter if he seen the posted sign when he jumped the fence or crossed in the middle of the property? And then he then just throws the case out?"Thank You Mr. Oley for your prompt reply.  The answer to your question is Yes.  I will say the same thing as I have had to deal with similar situations already.  However, SB 2315 has very little to do with people perpetrating illegal activities as we already have laws on the books that address the very situations you speak about.  The issue you describe concerns a judge excising their discretionary powers in the disposition of a case, not the laws.  SB 2315 will do nothing to address a judges power, nor force any judge to convict trespass violations to any greater degree.  Nor will it prevent any future undesired events.  What SB 2351 WILL do, is take my right to decide to post my land or not post my land from me and hand it over to the state.  I find that extremely distasteful.  Additionally, I find proponents of this bill completely disingenuous when they claim SB 2315 will protect landowner rights.  That is a complete falsehood.  Taking away the right of a landowner to decide on whether or not to post their land in no way protects the landowner rights.  I again, strongly urge you to protect the rights of landowners to decide how to use their land and to whom they allow access by voting NO on SB 2315.Thank You,(My Name), Landowner in North Dakota  </blockquote>
