So, there's already a law about it and we need more --rusrs? Gun grabbers use that logic too.

Not a fan of small government apparently.

Liberal=loves big gov

Conservative=claims to hate big gov until they want it to do something they approve of

They aren't adding a new law... Read the thread title. It says "Relating to notice against trespass; amending RCW 9A.52.010"

RCW 9A.52.010
Definitions.

All they are doing is adding a definition, that's it. RCW 9A.52.010 isn't even a law in and of itself, it's just definitions for clarification purposes.

You do understand that all this does is add paint marking as a way to post property, right? That the existing trespassing provisions remain unaltered? That there are ALREADY trespassing provisions in the law?

This isn't some rosicrucian/masonic conspiracy to establish one world government and grind the face of the common man in the mud under the bootheel of oppressive government, for pity's sake. It's about inexpensively and clearly notifying people that the person who owns some piece of land doesn't want people coming onto it without permission.

You want to worry about the growing police state? Work to get the existing handgun registry abolished. That's a much bigger threat to your freedom than some rural property owner walking down his property line with a can of orange paint making foot long stripes on tree trunks.

Why don't you just paint your trees anyway? Why ask for a law?

Nice Red Herring though.

I just thought that some people might want to understand that there is an actual need for this.

Ahh the age old justification for expanding government regulations and control. "We 'need' this, you just don't understand that!"

Screw that.

Why, because if there is no provision in the law for posting property with paint marks being equivalent to posting with signs, when the deputy shows up, he'd say "Now, Mr. Gray, those are very nicely done paint marks with no legal meaning, you *should* have posted signs," instead of "Now, you young bozo, this property is clearly properly posted, so you and I are going to take a little ride together." Is that really so difficult for you to understand?

Look, go ahead and oppose this on whatever grounds you please, it's no skin off my nose. I just thought that some people might want to understand that there is an actual need for this, that it's used without trouble in nine other states, and that it's not some hidden conspiracy.
