My assessment of this trespassing business is that each area of our country is a little different in how the laws view trespassing.

In some it is considered far worse than others. For instance, in Ohio one of the things I just read was that it was o.k. for hunters to "retrieve felled game from another's property".

Each of us has probably been raised up thinking differently about the laws. I know that my mother would have skinned me alive if she found MYSELF on a neighbors property at dinner time.

Wrong in so many ways.

I feel bad for the lady. I would have to think this was probably the first time in her life the police were called on her.

If someone comes to my door trying to sell me something or trying to convert me, I just say No, thank you. If I peep out and profile them, as a mass murderer, a visitor from another planet or if they have a large snarling and barking animal with them, I just wave through the side panel and shoo them away...Ditto with folks with large running sores.

There is no reason to get all worked up over silly things or be unkind to innocent people trying to make a living.

I have issue with people that are not invited and will not leave when asked too, how hard is that for someone to understand?

you did the right thing for you, and I support your decision. Don't let anyone else tell you what you should have done.....

They were not there.....you were......

Your correct!
When someone was not there and did not experience what i did i don't like the short judgement in how i handled it. JMHO

I do quite a bit of Ancestor tracking of family and for friends if they ask and the Census module in Ancestor.com and My Heritage is really useful at times. In a number of cases it provides the family members in the home at the time, ages, etc etc. These statistics are valuable in establishing a number of Gov. bases. It is also hard work to go to each home and secure the information. It is unfortunate that some are reluctant if not just plain refusing to provide the data which in the end is for their benefit. Also there are the groups that have become so paranoid at any intrusion by anyone they can't distinguish the good from the bad.

I agree with some of the others. There is too much anger in this story to trust in its accuracy.
