ANYONE can call and say you do not have permission to be on someone elses property. And like someone else said, there is no telling what the other person told the LEO. The deputy did not have to try to contact the land owner. He could have cited you for trespass and let you sort it out w/ the judge.

And thank god the laws have changed to accomodate the landowner It wasn't very long ago that anyone could just go tear down a posted sign and trespass onto your land and if they were caught they only had to say 'well this land wasn't properly posted' and they were let go. Very glad we got out of the mideival ages of that law. Its very hard to keep property 'legally posted' especially in Louisiana People tear down the signs and shoot em all the time.
Guess what happened if that trespasser got hurt on your land that was not properly posted? You can get sued. That is the whole point of these laws. We lease property and everyone that steps foot on that property has to sign a waiver and have a permission slip on hand at all times and its only to cover your azz from being sued. Sad that this is the world we live in, but its the truth.
