Right, but what I was referring to was this:
The Utah Legislature approved a bill in 2012 that made it a class B misdemeanor to trespass on private livestock or poultry operations and record sound or images without the owner's permission.
So this particular law seems like a solution without a problem, given that trespassing for any reason is already illegal.
- mercer 9y agoIf i understand correctly it's not that it wasn't illegal before, rather it wasn't a class B misdemeanor. I'm not a lawyer though.
- code_duck 9y agoIn the statute, actually they specifically list reasons that make your presence a trespass. https://le.utah.gov/xcode/Title76/Chapter6/76-6-S206.html?v=C76-6-S206_2015051220150512 https://le.utah.gov/xcode/Title76/Chapter6/76-6-S206.html?v=... Entering property for just any reason doesn't count as trespass... you need to have some sort of malicious intent, and stay despite being reasonably warned (including by signs or a fence) that your presence is not welcome.
