I dug out a reference to that in a later AG opinion. Bogeyboy has quoted it in greater depth, but basically it is: "This office has stated that the provisions in Chapter 316, Florida Statutes, are enforceable on private property only if the public may travel by motor vehicle on such property."

It still seems a little murky to me since the accompanying verbiage relates to "municipal" police, but there are about five other related opinions and I don't want to bother to read them all.

Bottom line............ do good and don't get ticketed.
