My question involves real estate located in the State of: Connecticut
My state has both criminal trespass and simple trespass. Simple trespass is (basically) entering a location without permission but with no intent to do harm. Simple can become criminal trespass if you have been told in person prior by an official (police, judge) not to enter the location.
In a defense of criminal trespass it states "(2) the premises at the time of entry were open to the public..."
The word premises as used here, can that also mean land or does it refer only to a building?
If it does include land then would it be a requirement that a landowner need to secure his land (fence, chain, etc.) or is the posting of signs enough to sustain a charge?
