I understand what private property is. You can get into a bad situation with a property owner if signs are properly posted...unless a police officer has legal authority to enter the area (mainly talking about curtilage here). I could go on, but would rather refer anyone who's interested to check out their states penal code regarding Criminal Trespass.
I can run radar from private property all day long.
I won't run radar from peoples residential driveways (if this is what you were referring to)....even though I have had MANY who have asked me to do that before (since they are sick of people speeding through their neighborhood).
I will (on rare occassion) run radar from the front parking lots of businesses alongside the road. I don't do this too often, but
there's nothing wrong with it. Now, if someone asked me to leave, that's fine by me. If the owner wants people flying by their business putting their customers at risk of getting into accidents when trying to leave their parking lots, that's fine by me. But, there is nothing ILLEGAL about it. Maybe in your neck of the woods, it is....but not here.
As far as searching peoples cars and houses....
THAT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TOPIC. I know when I can and can't search peoples cars and houses, how consent works, and also how plain view works.
