You file a Civil Complaint (formerly called a Civil Writ or Civil Writ of Summons) and is not difficult. Electronic filing has made the process much simpler for the filer.
Not one instance of trespass, but subsequent trespass after being informed not to come on the property. Most folks will honor the request. If not, then that's what the courts are for.
I didn't reference "the sign". My initial comment was simply to point out another statute other then posting. Posting is a subset to avoid trespass, and honor the property owner's request.
Your kidding ... right ... whatever it's supposed to mean.
Additionally, care would have to taken for cameras and electronic evidence in case of accusations of Photoshop and other means to falsify evidence. Cops will not pursue a trespass charge unless harm or damages is involved, even if they have a clue who the trespasser is.

A civil complaint gets you nothing except wasting your money and time sitting in court.
Most logical landowners don't want to waste any time in court, any cost associated with court, nor put any risk upon themselves.
