<blockquote>
<p>(c) A person has been denied entry under subsection (b)(1) when the person has been denied entry by means of:</p>
<p>(1) personal communication, oral or written;</p>
<p>(2) posting or exhibiting a notice at the main entrance in a manner that is either prescribed by law or likely to come to the attention of the public;</p>
<p>(3) a hearing authority or court order under IC 32‑30‑6, IC 32‑30‑7, IC 32‑30‑8, IC 36‑7‑9, or IC 36‑7‑36; or</p>
<p>(4) posting the property by placing identifying purple marks on trees or posts around the area where entry is denied.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Should this be taken to mean that a physical barrier <em>(with out signage)</em> does not deny entry?</p>
<p>Also as a second question how does no trespass signage affect delivery people, such as USPS, etc.</p>

<blockquote>

<p>It seems that a physical barrier alone does not deny entry <em>under subsection (b)(1)</em>. This entire section is defining when a person has committed <strong>criminal</strong> trespass. Apparently breaking through a fence with no sign does not constitute criminal trespass, unless one of the other sub-sections applies. But it may constitute simple trespass, and it may constitute some other offense, such as breaking and entering.</p>
<p>Note also that subsection (b)(4) adss a person who:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>knowingly or intentionally interferes with the possession or use of the property of another person without the person's consent;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>to the list of those who commit criminal trespass.</p>
<p>That might apply to a person who enters by damaging a fence.</p>
<blockquote>

</blockquote>
<p>Section 2(g)(6)(B) exempts the owner's:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>(i) family member;</p>
<p>(ii) invitee;</p>
<p>(iii) employee;</p>
<p>(iv) agent;  or</p>
<p>(v) independent contractor;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I would think that a delivery person would be either an invitee or an independent contractor. Or perhaps some other provision applies.</p>
<p>As for nearby provisions in the code, Section 35-43-2-1 defines &quot;Burglary&quot; in terms of breaking and entering with intent to commit theft or felony.  Section 35-43-2-1.1.5 defines &quot;residential entry&quot; in terms of breaking and entering a dwelling.  Section 35-43-2-1.3 deals with unauthorized computer access.</p>
