So just who is going to report the bad actors, since the law abiding people are excluded? That is where the landowners missed the boat. Local law enforcement will never have the resources to prevent the "disrespectful scum" as you call them from doing what they do. Not alone, anyway. Increasing access to ethical, responsible recreationist could increase traffic and deny the scum the privacy they need to get away with acting like scum. Crime occurs in dark, back alleys, not well-lit, busy sidewalks.
As nice an idea as it is to ask the owner for access, few of us have the time to waste on a side excursion in the hope that we might get lucky and actually catch the owner at home and get permission. A clear set of uniform rules, as set forth by HB80, seems to me a more workable solution for both sides.
