That is interesting. What if there was a fence with a locked gate around your property as there is in a lot of rural and urban areas? Can they jump the fence to walk up your "public" sidewalk? Is it no longer public if it is gated? Is that a legal decision somewhere? That can make for interesting circumstances.

Actually here is some interesting legal decisions/opinions as it pertains to police:
