Maybe this will make it easier
1. As to which notice against entering or remaining is given, either by actual communication to the offender or by posting, fencing, or cultivation as described in s. 810.011
Was there notice given against entering or remaining? Did the individual remain after notice was given? If not, then they are not violating the statute for trespassing.

As for licensing, did they have a license? Did anyone ask? Or, did a resident see some of "those" people in the area and immediately assume they were criminals and illegals?

Cautioning against a potential scam is great. Accusing others of being criminals based on, well, absolutely nothing is not so great.
