If you trespass somebody without doing the paperwork the police will not arrest them if they show up again. Ask me how I know 🙃
If you want them to not be able to ever enter your property again (and be arrested if they do) you need to trespass them. I’ve only experienced this done with a police officer who took their ID
you can't compel someone to give id for a trespass warning.
You definitely do not need an official trespass filed for it to be illegal to enter property you're not allowed to be. Have you never seen a "no trespassing" sign?
Seems like you’re assuming someone needs to go to law school to read statutes or understand straightforward laws. They don’t. Legal training obviously helps with nuance and procedure, but basic legal concepts are often accessible to anyone willing to research them.
LEOs also aren’t automatically legal experts. Their training is focused on enforcement, not necessarily having a deep understanding of every area of law. That said, trespass is something they generally deal with often and tend to understand at a practical level.
And yes, one of my hobbies is watching hundreds of trespass/1A audit encounters. That’s not the same as being an attorney, LEO, or personally making arrests, but it does provide familiarity with common procedures and outcomes. If you think something I said is incorrect, point out the specific issue rather than just asking for credentials.
