Wrong. Unless you have a gated fence around your yard, your walkway up to your front door is considered in the public and access is implied. If you specifically ask someone to leave your property then, yes, they are trespassing if they refuse.
The reason reporters and camera crews set up off property is because they know they will be asked to leave and just avoid that issue.

A key thing ignored here is that these two have a history, so implied consent may not even be applicable here.
ETA: If this "journalist" was ever previously told to leave the cop's property, he is then trespassing any time he returns to the property. Figured I better explain it before all of Sean's friends melt about it

Maybe so, but that's an entirely different set of circumstances from his blanket statement.

When that situation occurs, let me know.

You've already established that you are too stubborn to inform yourself of the back story here, but thanks for explaining that to us anyway.

Can journalists enter private residences under the First Amendment?
No, the First Amendment right to freedom of the press does not grant journalists special permission to enter private property, including residences, without consent. Journalists are subject to the same laws as anyone else, and unauthorized entry onto private property can be considered trespassing, potentially leading to both civil lawsuits and criminal charges.

Any legal argument against what I said, or just more ignorant melting and screaming fIrSt AmEnDmEnT like it means anything here?

Eat shite, you haven't answered anything about why you think the first amendment is relevant here.

Since your too lazy and stubborn to watch the videos i posted that give the complete back story, I'll help you out.
This was his first trip to officers home and there were not any "no trespassing" signs posted.

Do you have to enter a private residence to trespass?

Does a "no trespassing" sign have to be posted?

Is it legal for door to door salesman or Jehovahs witnesses to knock on my door?
Or can I chase them off my property with a gun, spit in their face and have them arrested for trespassing?

Spitting in someone’s face is, in fact illegal. I had an employee get spit on by a customer one time and I had the customer arrested for assault.

At what moment in time does a leisurely stroll up to someone's front door become trespassing?
After a warning?
With a sign?
After a gun is pulled?
Muy importante.

From what I've learned, if there is a sign or if you've been asked to leave and remain on the premises..neither apply here. You also have to be given the opportunity to retreat, which Sean immediately started to do before the maniac came back out with a gun

frick that cop.
You get a felony charge if you spit on a cop but not the other way around.

Apparently not illegal for if the spitter is a Connecticut state trooper. But its an automatic felony if the cop is the spitee.
