Trespassing is such a magical device, you can turn anyone you want into a criminal by deciding after the fact that they’re persona non grata and they’re guilty because they didn’t predict the future and teleport out of there beforehand.
I’m actually surprised the cops don’t use that somehow. Like they want to arrest somebody who is sitting in their own car. The cops could walk up to the car, say “We’re commandeering this vehicle,” and then arrest everybody in the car for trespassing.
They usually go for “disorderly conduct” (you had a feeling about the situation at hand) or “obstruction of justice” (you didn’t let me do whatever I wanted) if they want to take someone away for bs reasons (even if the charges are dropped next week).
Technically trespassing requires a verbal warning at which time you’re allowed to leave freely before they arrest you.
In the end it doesn’t really matter whether or not they did it by the book. Contrary to what procedures-fetishist liberals believe, whether or not this is valid is either up to the politics of the judge or twelve of the most paranoid nimbys the prosecutor can suss out who will see the word “trespassing” and immediately vote to convict

It certainly is.

Somebody must’ve said “Stop talking,” to the guy before they called the pigs in.

Don’t forget “breach of the peace” (ie I disapprove of you saying or doing things)
kinda what ICE is doing
