it's obvious you didn't read much of the link. there are 3 or 4 different forms of trespass. some illegal some not. it depends on the reason for the cops being there. to investigate a noise complaint. telling em to fuck will get you nowhere. telling them to leave will get you nowhere. if there is no just reason to be there then yeah you can tell em to leave, but that doesn't mean they aren't still doing their due diligence if a complaint was issued, so they may or may not leave, even on posted property.
.org or .gov makes no difference in this case. all of the cases in the link are case law precedent. besides, why the hell would a .gov site make it easy for lawyers to rebuke a case against them by putting all the precedent law in one place? they won't. most likely that link was written by a legal aide or lawyer to help a case they were working on.
again, your walkway IS an open invite to leo, the pizza guy, the mailman, ect... as long as they as they are doing their job. for example, say there is a noise complaint at your house. when leo shows up and there is a party, they have a right to knock on your door to investigate. if they show up and all is quiet, they don't. the justification for a knock while technically is still there, chances are they'd dismiss the noise claims and move on because the justification behind the noise complaint ceased. if a cdv is called in, you can bet they'll knock regardless of noise.
i'm just wanting people to know how the laws work. telling leo to get the fuck off your land only works if they have no legal reason to be there. but, how do you know if they do or not? 99% of the time, it's neighbors or workman who call leo, without you ever knowing. that's why they end up on your door when you don't call. someone complained about you which gives them carte blanche in most cases.
