Who says that the guests are authorized to be there. What if the resident had pool privileges revoked and then goes to the pool with several guests? What do the lifeguards do when they refuse to leave? [/quote]

These are not criminal matters.  They are matters for the HOA to deal with and enforce.

My private pool has rules saying you can't run near the pool.  If people violate that rule, they get  a warning from the lifeguard.   If they continue to violate that rule despite warnings, they could lose their membership.  No one calls the police.

If they lose their membership, and continue to come to the pool somehow despite not being a member anymore, at that point I could see calling the cops for trespassing if given proper prior notice.  But that's nothing like calling the cops for the first violation of private rules.

It's not a crime to fail to obey the rules of your HOA.[/quote]

If someone is not authorized to be on private property and they refuse to leave, one can call the police to deal with the person. The pool is privately owned by the condo owners: it is not open to the public.

My neighborhood pool has problems with young teens/tweens trying to walk in even though they are not members. They have been asked to leave and if they don’t, the police have been called. It’s a group of white kids doing this, so there is no racism involved on the part of the diverse staff and membership of the pool.

+1. I’m on our neighborhood pool board. We are not a HOA and you have to buy memberships. Every year, there are groups of teens/ tweens who try to come in without memberships. More often than not, they’ve been told the rules in previous years and their parents definitely know. If memory serves, we’ve had to call the non emergency police twice in the past five years because they got belligerent when asked to leave. [/quote]

Having somebody that does not belong to your neighborhood go to your pool is very different than teens that are invited by a owner.

Let's say the owner can have 3 guests and they invite 5. Legally, the teens are there because they were invited but the homeowner is at fault for not following HOA rules.

Legally, You would deal with the owner, not the teens. [/quote]
