Because you can't write a ticket.
And if you are standing there... and ask them to leave... they have no longer committed an offense.
They have to remain after you have asked the to leave.

The posted sign is ambiguous. It is the action and vocal command of the agent communicating that they must leave.

A camera picking up an intruder with a sign that directly prohibits the trespass. That would not need private prosecution, nor open the door to civil forfeiture, because private prosecution does not inherently grant prosecutorial immunity. They would just present it to the local police, F&G, or any of the others... since most have the ability charge. Their jurisdiction was broadened.
