Hawaiian Gardens Municipal Code Ch. 9.36 Trespassing

A. No person shall trespass in, upon, on or across the property of another, without the permission and consent of the person in charge or control thereof, provided that such person shall have posted at each of the corners of the property a notice, in writing, upon either a metallic or wooden sign, or other substantial material, which said sign shall be at least one square foot in area, and shall be placed three feet above the normal level of the ground, and upon which said posted notice there appears in legible letters, at least two inches in height, the words, "PRIVATE PROPERTY - NO TRESPASSING," and such other words as may be desired indicating that trespassers are subject to prosecution. The sign shall have either a white or black base, and in the event the white base is used, the letters shall be in black, and if a black base is used, the letters shall be in white; provided, further, that in the event said property exceeds a total area of one acre, in addition to the posting of such notices at the corners thereof, there shall be posted at intervals of 300 feet, or less, on or near the boundary line of said property, notices of similar character.

B. These provisions shall have no application to a trespass committed by any officially authorized peace officer or law enforcement agent when such trespass is committed in the lawful execution of such officer or agent's official duty, nor to any person visiting or calling at the residence or place of business of any person for the purpose of transacting any legitimate business.
