A police officer is an agent of the municipality, county or state, whichever it may be, and therefore acts on behalf of that entity thereby having power over such restrictions. Failing to leave, or returning on property, even public, once an agent or owner has forbidden such an act is trespassing. Specific details of the laws differ with each statutory act, however the principles remain constant. So for the most part, if a police officer tells you not to do something, you're best not to.
So who authorizes banning a user from a public park? Surely not the cops and hopefully no one in law enforcement has that authority.

billwagnon, it's the end of innocence. "Tried and Convicted in 30 Minutes or Less" It's a new reality show on ABC.
