If someone approaches you and asks you to leave a geohash location (even if it is in a public place), please do not force the issue and comply forthwith.

I don't get this point. Should we yield to some thug an renounce our right of enjoying public spaces, just to not "force the issue"? --80.174.78.29 19:02, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry if I wasn't clear with what I meant. It's fixed now. --Tim P 19:23, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Trespassing

I think we need to add a more in-depth explanation of illegal trespass. In most countries trespass is not illegal if there is no intent to trepass (ie you are on private property without knowing it) and in others civilians have the right to access for private property. However, in Australia neither of these are the case. Trespassing is trespassing whether there was intent or not. If somebody walking along a track next to a private property walks into that property, whether signed or unsigned, fenced or unfenced, marked or unmarked can be brought to court on trespassing. This needs to be pointed out a tad more blatently for some people. It is ultra improtant that Australians do their research before hashing in areas that are not crown lands (some crown lands also require licences to enter) or public property.
