This brought to mind some incidents in Canada a few years ago. Can't find any articles now but there were a lot of tourists coming to certain sightseeing areas as the leaves changed colour on the trees in the fall. Unfortunately, the locals had a lot of complaints about a certain demographic trespassing on private property and even using people's canoes and wondering out onto their docks.
With this in mind, that's exactly what this this video looks like. But they spotted the camera before venturing any further.
There have been problems with trespassing on the ODT as well so signs have been put up telling people to respect private property. Many years ago when the trail was being built there were a lot of disputes with property owners. They were opposed to the trail bringing the general public so close to the fronts and backs of their houses. People started building privacy fences and in some cases the trails people paid for them. Some homeowners have embraced the trail by decorating their areas so walkers and bikers have something to look at, and some have put out bowls of water for passing dogs.
Some property owners have been real a-holes and I had a problem with one of them. For a few years I periodically walked to work which is about 7.5 miles one way, and in the winter I was often walking in the dark. One evening on my way home from work while passing by a house up on a hill someone came out, shined a flashlight on me and shouted that the trail was closed. This was BS because the trail doesn't close at night. I yelled back telling them to mind their own F-ing business. After that someone would shine a light on me every time I walked by. So I got an even brighter light and shined it on them every time they came out of their house to harass me. That stopped them from shining their light. It was obvious that these people were antisocial based on all the no trespassing signs and signs threatening to shoot people.
My street camera is set back so it is not obvious to people unless they look up my driveway. But some home owners, especially in Port Angeles, put cameras out in the open for people to see, and some have signs that are meant to intimidate. When a person sees a camera they can assume that they are being watched and/or recorded. Large signs explaining this are not necessary.
I took a picture of the trail from the end of my driveway as I came home today. Mistaking my driveway for the trail would be difficult to do. Especially since the green sign and arrow point the way.
