I would consult a lawyer. Depending on the state, I would personally be walking the perimeter of my farm with a gun, shooting at anyone who's stealing my property/power on sight. Homeless people have advocates, sure, but this is basically home invasion, burglary, and probably many other things that are just plain unacceptable by &/or from anyone.

California. I have a standing request with the sheriff’s Dept to arrest upon trespassing. At least give a warning. But every time they say that we should give them a week’s warning. The old group leaves and another group comes in. They have a hierarchy and a leader. Once the deputy told me that he didn’t know this one, but the other one was actually nicer. I was like..speechless. They have dogs! Small yappy dogs and big ones. They run around unleashed and barking their heads off. I used to volunteer at shelters and I am not afraid of them..I know how to handle animals, but my workers won’t come anymore. It’s absolutely ridiculous..you just have to step back and wonder if this is all real. But it is. Sometimes LEOs are instructed not to disturb them because they have homeless liaisons and should only go through them. That’s why they ask for a week’s grace period. I don’t care..I just want them gone. In the beginning, the deputy shamed me and told me curtly that it’s not a crime to be homeless. After three something years and noting that nothing is slowing them down, he softened and suggested to complain that their activities are a fire hazard(this is Sonoma county and close to Santa Rosa/Napa Area fires a few years ago) ..and that would actually get other people involved...and that could be effective. I don’t think they have any power. They can only act after a crime has been committed. But even that is not possible when the advocates area are involved, I think. At this point, I don’t care anymore. I am not ashamed to admit that this has caused me multiple panic attacks but I now realize that my losses are less if I don’t Farm. So I have taken a break. It’s throwing good money after bad to create deterrents. Nothing can be done. It’s a waiting game.

  You should hire a security company that can have scary looking big guys to tell them to get off your property. Generally people like that completely fold when they are presented with any sign of physical confrontation from someone bigger than them. After a while they will learn to find an easier target.
