[QUOTE="KDM, post: 246681, member: 314"] This new trash bill wouldn't have prevented any of those protesters from trespassing either. I'm not sure how many times it has to be brought up that laws only stop those people that obey laws to begin with. As far as the trespass crap during DAPL, once the landowner made it known to LE that they wanted those people to stay off their land the signs became a moot point. Just like when someone finds unposted land to hunt and the landowner shows up the same day and says to get out or posts it. You have to leave. Once those cops knew the landowner wanted those people gone it was a done deal. The morton county sheriff was mitigating a tense situation, NOT enforcing the law. That said, I don't blame the sheriff for what happened as all LE folks out there were trying to prevent violence and life loss. Trespass laws were enforced, but at a time when it wouldn't have kicked off a riot where people would have gotten hurt. Again, SB2315 won't stop any of this behavior any better than those already on the books. [/QUOTE]
