Unless you're on known public land the assumption would be that you've
now been given notice for both sides. This assumes that you arrived at
your
current spot by teleportation, air drop, or some other method that didn't
require crossing a fence from a public area to get there, and that the
fence
extends so far that you can't see whether you're inside or out.
