Yes you can trespass on public land. I can't just go in the Mayor's Office or the water treatment plant on my unannounced whim.

I haven't tried the water treatment plant, but I've definitely gone to the mayor's office in multiple counties (usually with a group of us ofc). Same with many house representative's offices. Usually the receptionist stalls you, but sometimes we manage to get an actual face to face
