If it makes you all happy, I upgraded my phone plan to include tethering. No need to use the businesses WIFI anymore. I still don't see anything wrong with it, but I upgraded anyways, because it's more convenient than searching for free WIFI.
Not sure I follow. If I call the cops on you for trespassing, you are more than likely getting arrested, getting charged, prosecuted, convicted and sentenced.
Not unless I'm caught on your property, behaving in a way that meets the definition of trespassing in your state, or that you can present evidence that I had trespassed that meets the rules of evidence and the laws of trespassing in your state. And the burden is on you to produce that evidence, you are not going to get any help from the police in making your case, unless a prosecutable felony occurred in connection with the trespass. And in most states, it is not trespassing at all if you have not signposted your property clearly and/or protected it from casual entry with locked gates.
No matter how important you think you are, nobody is going to jail for taking a shortcut across your lawn.

I've actually started using WiFi in public places a lot more recently. I have tethering that I use on the train, but WiFi is available almost everywhere I just use that.

The tethering sucked because of 3G speeds. I got a mobile hotspot device for $20 per month extra (after saving $20 switching to share everything plan) that gets 4G speeds. It's much faster than the free WIFI by those businesses. The downside is the data limit. However, if I get close to that then the free WIFI is there.

Verizon is our one and only choice.... Pay-by-the-byte dialup (yet <17 miles from a 500k metro area). Occasionally we get 14.4k, but usually 9600. Really fun.

Every area has it's tradeoffs. Where I live I have to prove that I'm a saint in order to own a gun. That's a lot worse!
