A: South Carolina State Statute 16-11-620, which pertains to trespassing after notice, can be subject to appeal under certain circumstances. If you believe the trespass notice was issued wrongly or violates your rights, particularly if it involves a property in which you have a legal interest, you may have grounds for an appeal.

It's important to review the specific circumstances under which the trespass notice was issued. If you have not been on the property for years, and especially if one of the properties is a business in which you own a part, this could potentially raise questions about the validity of the trespass notice.

Regarding the issue of civil rights, if you believe that the trespass notice infringes on your rights, particularly in accessing a public place or a property you partially own, this could form the basis of a legal challenge. However, these situations can be complex and hinge on specific legal points.

In such cases, it's advisable to consult with an attorney experienced in criminal law and civil rights. They can assess the specifics of your situation, advise you on the feasibility of an appeal, and help navigate the legal process.

Remember, navigating the legal system can be challenging, especially in cases involving potential civil rights issues. Seeking professional legal advice is a critical step in ensuring your rights are protected and your case is effectively presented.
