How can a person be trespassed from the villages for holding a god bless the homeless vets sign. I thought the roads were public and sidewalks are public…Iknow the squares are private property but open to the public.

You may want to talk to a real lawyer if you want valid legal advice.

What if this person is a homeowner in the villages,,he cannot go home? It dos not make sense..taxes are paid to Sumter county they are public roads.it is not a gated community any one can come…

I don’t think you can be trespasses for your home unless domestic incidents? Now maybe village can trespass you from all facilities and you still have to pay amenities fees. Maybe Businesses can trespass pass person if they are caught stealing or causing disruption. Road maybe public for travel but land maybe private? I’m no expert on subject or claim to be but I did sleep in Holiday INN in pass… and I ran two racks of 9 ball yesterday.

Not enough details really here. Where was the person when he was holding up the sign? And when?

Any danger presented by the sign holder? Like distracting drivers, getting in the way of golf carts, etc.

[billlaur]

No he doesn’t break the law…this isn’t his first rodeo….

If I were in his situation I would talk to a lawyer licensed in Florida about it. I am a law librarian by inclination and training. We are not allowed to practice law unless special arrangements were made. However, I did graduate from the U of Minnesota Law School but that was in 1989. I am trained in asking questions though.

Public sidwalk, where or what square? In front of the Villages sales office, Dunkin, Five Guys? I guess the question is what is their beef that they have to hold a sign at a specific location? Probably get more traction standing along with the pan handlers on 44?
