That's the very definition. Going where you aren't invited. I shouldn't have to tell a trespasser to get off my property, in order to have the encounter qualify as a trespass. The fact that they got to my door is qualification enough.

Florida is actually LAX on the definition of trespass, and requires the owner to object after the fact. That protects the trespasser, not the homeowner.
In regards to the spelling I stand corrected thank you for pointing that out I will check my autocorrect. Furthermore I agree with a great part of your post regarding trespassing it's painted with a broad brush. However though it gets in depth in criminal trespassing and case law that's where the division is. I seem to think Florida has great trespassing laws but you seem to have a different opinion that's why this is America my friend. I'm thankful for Florida trespassing laws under 8:10 have a good day
