The posting of 'no trespassing' signs creates an expectation of privacy and officer cannot enter. Choose the statement that matches this concept.

• A. It allows entry with a waiver
• B. It has no effect on entry
• C. No trespassing; it effectively negates
• D. It allows entry without a warrant

Answer: (C)

Posting “no trespassing” signs communicates a restriction on access and signals privacy expectations for the property. This means officers normally cannot enter without consent, a warrant, or exigent circumstances. The statement that matches this concept is: No trespassing; it effectively negates entry. A waiver would grant permission to enter, which a posted sign does not provide. It does affect entry by prohibiting it and does not allow entry without a warrant.
