What this means is they can set the conditions of your entry. if you break those conditions you can be asked to leave or barred from the property on future occasions. failure to comply can result in a trespass charge being filed.
also, it is not required that the property owner himself be required to deal with this. Anyone acting in the interest of the property owner (such as management, security guards, etc) can legally ask you to leave. In some locations it is even legal for them to have you forcefully removed from the premises. they dont even need to phone the police..
Now this is generic legal information. of course the laws of your local state/province/country may differ slightly... or even be completely different.
Where im from, for example... it was perfectly acceptable for me to use force to remove someone from a business i managed, provided i didnt use more force than necessary to remove them. if they walked out... i couldnt do a thing. if i pulled them toward a door and they threw a punch at me i could legally throw one right back. i could also charge them with assault.
Its actually funny the number of people that I have kicked off a property physically who have then phoned the police to charge me with assault. most of them are honestly shocked when they discover its them that are facing criminal charges. most of the time i didnt pursue charges because in the end its just not worth it. and it takes forever. for example a serious event that took place Nov 2010, wont have a trial until Aug 2012?? LOL... and this was a guy who was charged with assault, assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, and a number of others i dont recall. btw it wasnt me he attacked, it was an employee, but i broke his nose and dislocated his shoulder. no charges were even considered against me because both witnesses and security cameras show that after i pulled him off my employee, i told him to leave, he refused, and then tried to attack me (this was after i pulled him off the employee). fortunately im a trained fighter, his first attempt to punch me ended with a broken nose, his second attempt ended in a dislocated shoulder. then he left... but we got his license plate number heh.
anyways... moral of the story... comply with people when on private property. dont argue or fight back. dont assume the law is on your side lol. you could find yourself in more trouble than its worth.
