      There are many reasons for which a person could be trespassed. All of the 319 felonies and misdemeanors of course would be trespassed. It gives no hint as to the amount of trespasses related to AP's.

      True. But, it's a bit bothersome that actual charges of trespass were worth mentioning among the "crimes".

      Trespassing was the top charge because I think there is a lot of people trying to cheat in Ohio casinos by way of capping bets, possibly switching cards at table games via a small team, and outright theft like purse snatchers whether it be from the casino or the patrons.

      But, to actually be charged with trespassing, not just read a trespass warning, a purse-snatcher would have had to have committed a crime in a casino after being trespassed. At least by my reading of the Ohio statute.

      That's right. These are multiple offenders who have committed an offense in the casino and they keep coming back. With numbers like those in the article these are NOT AP offenses. Their criminal elements. These people are not taking NO for an answer. You get it? These people are broke, destitute, out of money, and their looking for a score. The casino is going to have to tell them multiple times. Criminal elements are going to look at casino security as being soft because they are. They're not scared. They know the casino is not going to taze them and shoot them when such people get out of line.

      Of course I "get it". What bothers me is that the casinos are used to actually charging people with trespass violations to the extent that it is mentioned in an article as one of the common crimes committed in casinos.
