This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

i hate it when trespassers buy tickets.
Not a lawyer, but I'm guessing the trespassing applies when they opted to enter restricted areas of the facility, or maybe the air around it.
"I had no way of knowing I wasn't permitted to climb over the glass, there was no sign and nobody told us not to" is a perfectly valid defence, IMO. Whether it "should be common sense" or not is irrelevant.
You can't claim someone has trespassed when all they did was just choose an alternate route back to ground level, much less an alternate route that did not say "don't take this route".
I agree. Best they can do is say "don't so it again, you're not allowed here anymore". No signage or prior warnings means no charges.
Courts frequently use the standard of whether a "reasonable person would have known" something. They might try to play dumb, but it almost definitely wouldn't work as a defense. Trespassing laws don't require signage, a clear structural barrier is enough.
As a reasonable person I think it was an awesome idea, and in fact think they should open this up to everyone that can base jump say every month or so.
This is state by state. Where I live singage is explicitly required. Every 50ft.
Private property can trespass anyone at anytime for any reason though. That applies everywhere. Trying to get them for criminal trespass is a waste of time. What the police would like to know is exactly who they are and to trespass them from there, in just to get their records going.
Yes, laws do vary by state, but those signage laws typically apply to open land, not internal buildings/structures. A store doesn't need signage to prevent you from hopping over the counter to where the register is.
But you do not need them on your house, even if you have your windows open.
They took the same route they would have, had the building not been there.
My understanding is, you aren’t “trespassing” in publicly accessible areas, until you’ve been told to leave and refused^*^

The fuck is with all those carets?
Your client isn't rendering the markdown correctly, carets are how you make superscript (or smaller) text.
