| | | | I've come across the police a few times when I've been exploring, and I've found that honesty is the best thing when encountering them (lying to them is definitely something that they do not like or tolerate): I honestly tell them that I am interested in the history of the place and that I am taking pictures. Every single time they have been more than willing to discuss history and at the most express concern about my safety within the building. Granted, in my case this has only applied to abandonments. But still, if you get caught and own up to your actions and comply with the orders of the officer you will definitely be better off than had you not done so. Call me naive, but tell me a better solution in this situation...

This method is 10x more effective when a female member of your exploring party is (unbeknownst to her) still wearing a pair of Halloween cat ears whilst talking to the nice officer.

That doesn't work in the most parts of the world.
When I know I will have to deal with "strict to rules" kind of people, ie. from security company, I just apply good old method: "Recedite, plebes! Gero rem imperialem." which means: "Stand aside, little people! I'm here on official business.". Work best, when you have some fake or genuine papers and clipboard. People just hate bureaucracy as much as they hate to do excess work. Once a police officer catched me, when I tried to get into very important international meeting without accreditation. When he yelled on me: "What are you doing here?!" I yelled back: "What Am I doing!? What Am I doing?! What are YOU doing here, officer Fanfara, that's your name, is it, or NOT?! Maybe I have to explain YOUR incompetence to YOUR senior officer?!" He mumbled something and let me pass. Impudence like battling ram. And, of course, Balls of Steel. If you know, you can't explain why you are in particular place, then scare anyone, who asks you. I've never had problems with that method. Maybe because I can scream at people very loudly.

| | | | Never pays to piss off the owners, caretakers, guards, or the cops.
Treat homeless as if they are owners; with respect, or leave be.
Looters/vandals get the treatment, like they would if they were in my neighbor's yard.
Some places are best left the fuck alone; know when to bug the fuck out!
Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in.

| | | | i usually act polite and try and vouch for myself. when my camera had a working screen(way before it got lost in september) i'd show my (mediocre) urbex pictures and explain that i'm just here to take pictures only, and they can ask me to leave if they want, i'll leave if they do. i have run across an owner who was somewhat into urbex, it was pretty funny. he just came out to ask if i was an urban explorer.

I hope you are joking Urgon.
Try that in some parts of the States and you could get your head blown off by the owner.
Where I work, we just ask for your name and to see the papers. We call our property manager and check to see if he says it's okay. If you refuse, you're asked to leave. If you refuse to leave, the cops are called and they will deal with this matter. Afterwards, when you've left the property (either on your own or in the back of a police cruiser), we then write up our report and have a very good laugh at the performance.
Someone tried that routine on me last year. He claimed to be one of the owners and was demanding the master key for the building as he wanted to do a full inspection to ensure it was being maintained properly. I asked for his name to confirm with my manager. The guy refused and I told him to leave. He was rather pissed off when he left (no access and I told him I'll call the cops if he didn't leave) and was threatening to have me fired and sued. I wrote up my report and after the manager and I finished reading it, we had a very good laugh over it.
So, the next time you try that, please video tape it. We can all use a good laugh.
Oh, and from the little bit of Latin I remember from High school, "Ite ad Infernium".

| | | | When confronted with any one of those possible scenarios, I just drop right where I am and play dead. Its challenging at times, especially when you take a really deep breth and hold it so that when they come up to you they cant see your chest moving and then they just leave you alone. Also, if you let a little bit of drool out of the corner of your mouth, that adds to the effect.

| | | | often while at work (as an actual architect)
I will bein a house - or a vacant property while the owner is
not around - and I have never in over 10 years been approached or had a neighbor call the cops on me.
why - you have to look like you belong there, its an attitude
and usually most people believe it -
that would certainly scare the shit out of most tagging punks.
Beware tho - an owner or security guard or possible cop
is harder to handle -
the best way to do it is to act surprised that you >shouldn't<
be allowed there - state "I was just taking a few photos"
"Oh, I thought this place was abandonded - I didn't think
any one cared etc" In that case -
most of the time people will tell you to GTFO - and off you go.
Bums or homeless can be dangerous you look like a meal ticket with yer
nice warm jacket and expensive camera gear -
do go anyplace where you might encounter homeless or junkies or scrappers
alone - go with friends. I carry a normal (legal size - 3 in. or less)
pocket knife and a really heavy tripod is an amazing deterent *LOL
(make sure to take your camera of first).
stay safe.
