As used in this Article, the following terms mean:
ENTER UNLAWFULLY or REMAIN UNLAWFULLY
A person enters or remains in or upon premises when he or
she is not licensed or privileged to do so. A person who, regardless
of his or her purpose, enters or remains in or upon premises which
are at the time open to the public does so with license and privilege
unless he or she defies a lawful order not to enter or remain, personally
communicated to him or her by the owner of such premises or by other

or privilege to enter or remain in that part of the building which
is not open to the public.
