For land to be posted, a sign at least 11 inches square must be placed
in at least two conspicuous places for every 40 acres to be protected.
The sign must carry an appropriate notice and the name of the person
giving the notice followed by the word "owner" if the person giving
the notice is the holder of legal title to the land and by the word
"occupant" if the person giving the notice is not the holder of legal
title but is a lawful occupant of the land. Proof that appropriate
signs as herein provided were erected or in existence upon the premises
to be protected with six months prior to the event complained of shall
be prima facie proof that the premises to be protected were posted
as herein provided.
Whoever erects on the land of another signs which are the same as or similar to those described in § 192-2 without obtaining the express consent of the lawful occupant of or holder of legal title to such land is subject to a forfeiture penalty.
Nothing in this article shall prohibit a representative
of a labor union from conferring with any employee, provided that
such conference is conducted in the living quarters of the employee.
Any authorized occupant of employer-provided
housing shall have the right to decide who may enter, confer and visit
with him in the housing area he occupies.
The penalty for violation of any provision of
this article shall be a forfeiture as hereinafter provided together
with the costs of prosecution and the penalty assessment imposed by
§ 757.05, Wis. Stats., where applicable. Payment of the
judgment may be suspended by the sentencing judge for not more than
60 days. Any person who shall fail to pay the amount of the forfeiture,
costs of prosecution and penalty imposed for violation of any provision
of this article may, upon order of the court entering judgment therefor
and having jurisdiction of the case, be imprisoned until such forfeiture,
costs and assessment are paid, but not exceeding 90 days. The forfeiture
penalty is not to exceed $500.
