SIMON, Chief Judge,
concurring.
I concur in the result. The factual situation herein is governed by City of St. Louis v. Klocker, 637 S.W.2d 174 (Mo.App.1982). The applicability of § 1.205 RSMo 1986 is doubtful since the act clearly provides that effective January 1, 1988, the laws of our State shall be construed in accordance with the legislative findings set forth therein subject to the Constitution of the United States and the decisional interpretation thereof by the United States Supreme Court. Here, the trespass occurred on July 3, 1987. To interpret the criminal trespass statute and/or the necessity statute in accordance with § 1.205 RSMo 1986 is premature. Further, the facts as presented herein, are not sufficiently detailed as to be conductive to an indepth analysis of the applicability of § 1.205 RSMo 1986.
