Not unless he has a locked gate. We've been over the matter many times. Your yard really isn't the same as inside your house. On the other hand you can fence it, and put in a locked gate, and additional legal issues begin to play a part. Absent the fence (and locked gate), and the cops can patrol what they see, and here they say they suspected a burglar lurking about.

Best to see what the officers want first, then wait until they're leaving to pull your gun on them. Better luck next time. BTW, with $50 million on the table, there are plenty of sleezy lawyers waiting to take it from him.

There is a video slide show on the website but the pictures are more confusing than anything else .
But this picture doesn't appear to show any fence

I know this is somewhat off-topic -- but the Fla. Legislature is finally on its way to abolishing "joint & several liability." In other words, if, say, Disney World is found to be 1% liable (and they are the only ones with the deep pockets) they aren't on the hook for the entire, huge, whopping, ridiculous judgment.

It's still a "he said, they said" issue right now if this is all we know.

If the cops start shooting everybody they come across when the cops are on someone else's property it is going to mean a lot of work for landscapers.
