My personal experience.
Officer comes to my home to verify residency.
I have a locked gate. A big sign that reads ” NO TRESPASSING” “PRIVATE PROPERTY” FL s. 810.08. Yes the sign quoted the statue. Also, I had a nice camera facing towards front of my property 😁. Officer suggested he needed to verify plates on my cars therefore needing access. I asked do I have to? ( Camera’s recording 😊) I already knew the answer . But if the officer would’ve insisted under threat of arrest I would’ve let him pass onto property.
After hes long gone …I would look into my legal options apart from filing a complaint. So, officer said well I don’t know they didn’t say anything about that…. So he went into something else quickly then revisited the question, so are you going to let me in. I said no this only prolongs this in home verification process. He said ok I’ll make a note that you didn’t want to grant acces. I walked away. End of visit.
